Women’s Initiative Association

21.07.2014

Low economic development is one of the factors that directly affects the gender perspective, so that the interest of women’s activism in civil society, political participation through different forums is very small or is completely lacking. The number of women employed in Dragash is very small and it is far from reference to the Law on Gender Equality, and none of them is in the decision making position.

Women’s Initiative Association considers there is a great need on organizing, networking and cooperation between young women and GEO, advocating group, formal group and other local and international mechanisms in order to help with activities in gender issues.

Therefore they will undertake the initiative "Women of Sharr aims to integrate in social and political life" and plan to achieve this integration through organizing activities such as roundtables, workshops, radio debates, meetings for exchanging experiences and also to create the groups of active women whom will participate in the meetings of the municipal assembly and other debates where decisions that indicate women directly are taken.

The Association of Deaf Women in Prizren

21.07.2014

The lack of implementing the law for Health Nr.04/L-125 and its deficiencies are discriminatory against deaf people. The under funded health care sector is adversely affecting the health of women resulting with the lack of an interpreter for deaf women to raise general awareness about reproductive health, and prevention of breast cancer. Women in rural areas have specifically stated the lack of interpretation as an obstacle in the access to gynecological and antenatal treatments. Being able to recognize deaf women and their nature, the Association has created a more familiar picture, has acquired evidence and experience, and will be able to work and collaborate with women with all Disabled categories and we will try to work in many municipalities.

The Association will undertake the initiative "Women become active in preserving their health" aiming to improve the health of women and girls and increase the quality of services for health prevention.

The Centre for Promotion of Women’s Rights

21.07.2014

With financial support from KWN’s Kosovo Women’s Fund (KWF), last year, the Centre for Promotion of Women’s Rights managed to identify 86 cases of women raped during the war in some villages of Drenas municipality.

Now, with the second initiative "Identification of rape cases in the municipality of Skenderaj", the NGO aims to do the identification of all survivors of rape during the war in Skenderaj municipality, specifically in the villages of Cirez, Baks, Koshiq and Tushile, since there are indications that in these villages there are other victims.

The main purpose of the project is not only to identify this cases, but for them to be supported to integrate into society and learn about opportunities and their rights. Therefore the NGO will try to help them by refering them to the specialized organization KRCT for medical and psycho-social rehabilitation.

NGO Luna

21.07.2014

NGO Luna from its work experience has seen that women’s rights in rural areas are jeopardized in many levels. The social status of women in rural areas is still influenced by traditions. The NGO’s main aim is to improve their health and position in society by raising awareness of women in Vushtri about the importance of going to the gynecologist.

The number of women that go to Mitrovica for gynecological visits has decreased in the recent years. This has been proved by a reserach that NGO Luna has made with 60 women, whereas 45% of them do not make these visits because they are ashamed to be seen by other people going to the gynecologist. Transportation is another important issue that stops them from going to the gynecologist.

Therefore NGO Luna will undertake the initiative "Prevention is the key to health: Regular medical exam save lives" and will organize meetings between women from the local community and NGO Luna representatives anf local and central governmental institutions; as well as organizing lectures with a gynecologist, workshops with women from Roma and Serbian communities, a round-table with representatives from local and central governmental institutions, and educational-informative program for early detection of malignant diseases.

NGO Bliri

21.07.2014

The health care sector, being not financed enough, has negatively impacted in particular the health of women, resulting in a general lack of awareness about gynecological health, antenatal care and prevention of breast cancer.
Women in rural areas have highlighted travel expenses as an obstacle to access to gynecological and antenatal training. Apart from that, the traditional social-cultural norms affect the health of many women in Kosovo. For example some women hesitate to do annual Gynecology and Obstetrics checkups, because most of the gynecologists are male. There is lack of sexual education in schools, limited access to family planning assistance as well as free or unpaid contraceptives, and the lack of awareness and education about the ovaries and breast cancer.

Therefore, NGO Bliri will undertake the initiative "The improvement of women’s access to quality health care" aiming to secure more support from the Municipality of Drenas and the Health institution within the municipality regarding this issue. It also aims to secure medical check-ups free of charge, for women and girls.
