The Kosovo Women’s Network has achieved an important victory in protecting the rights of victims of gender-based violence. The victim, L.E., reported in May 2022 that her former brother-in-law had violated a protective order. After a lengthy judicial process and legal representation by the Network, in November 2025, the Basic Court in Pristina, Drenas branch, found the accused guilty of disobeying the court order.

The victim expressed her gratitude to the Network for the continuous support:

“Thanks to you, I was able to persevere and seek justice.”

Since 2021, when the Network began providing legal counseling and representation through lawyer Fitim Gashi, 148 women and girls who experienced gender-based violence have been assisted, and 392 cases of domestic violence have been monitored.

The Kosovo Women’s Network remains ready to support all victims of gender-based violence with free counseling and legal assistance at +383 48 105 800.
