As with previous elections, the Kosovo Women’s Network (KWN) is continuing its campaign to strengthen women’s participation in politics and decision-making processes, for the parliamentary elections expected to be held on February 14, 2021.
Due to the situation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, a part of the campaign will be focused on awareness-raising through social media, which will highlight public figures from different backgrounds. They will call upon citizens to vote for more women in government, because more women in politics means a more equal and democratic society.
Supporting women’s participation in politics and decision-making is part of the KWN Strategy 2019-2022. KWN also campaigned for this issue in the previous elections held in 2017 and 2019 and will continue to support, protect and promote the rights and interests of women and girls throughout Kosovo, regardless of their political, religious, ethnic, age, education, sexual orientation and ability.
KWN considers elections as an essential element of a democratic state, and gender equality as a fundamental human right, so we appeal to people to vote more women into parliament, as a necessary condition to combat the institutional tradition that has unjustly deprived women of their participation in politics and decision-making.
Whichever party list you choose, vote for more women in parliament!
This campaign is part of the Action “Strengthening Women’s Participation in Politics,” which is supported by the European Union (EU) Office in Kosovo.
