Although legal provisions ensure equal treatment, these provisions do not apply in practice for many reasons and in this way patriarchal traditions are more powerful than the law. This situation is clearly obvious when it comes to the implementation of legal provisions which regulate family issues and heritage: women are deprived of the right to family heritage. This can be proved with the fact that in Kosovo 90% of the property belongs to men, even though legal provisions (Article 12 of the Law on Inheritance of Kosovo no. 2004/26) provide equal treatment.

Having on mind the aformentioned facts, NGO Norma realized the initiative "Gender Equality in the Right for Inheritanc". The activities perforemed as part of this initiative included:  a research conducted in the Office of the Civil Service of 5 Kosovo Municipalities and a research conducted in basic courts and notary in five municipalities of Kosovo. After that a report was prepared regarding the findings of the research. 

A one-day debate regarding the lack of Implementation of Sections 127 and 133.1 of the Law on Non-Contested Procedure, followed the aforementioned activities.
