KWN Holds Training on Public Relations Capacity Building

11.12.2020

On December 1, Kosovo Women’s Network (KWN) held a one-day training “Public Relations and Effective Communication” with member organizations and grantees of the Kosovo Women’s Fund (KWF).

The importance of branding, best communication practices through social media platforms, as well as media relations, were some of the topics presented during the workshop. Representatives of fourteen KWN member organizations gathered together to discuss their public appearances, the importance of open and interactive communication with their audience, and the importance of using social media as a means of communication.

“This workshop was very practical and useful; we learned a lot about the strategic planning of social media posts and the importance of defining the target group, and creating content-based information for our audience,” said Fidane Hyseni, Executive Director of Center for Protection of Women and Children “Raba Voca”.

Great emphasis was placed on introducing best practices to expose their organizations to a wider audience through professional writing and improving social media presence. Participants also discussed strategic planning of delivering key message to the public, and practices that affect the growth of organic audience.

“One way to increase reach is by paying for social media posts to promote your content. Another alternative would be for organizations to concentrate on quality of content and posting techniques for a more organic audience growth “said Rudina Voca, Public Relations Coordinator, KWN, adding that “Together we discussed these methods and the challenges organizations face in creating a quality as well as creative content”

In the final stage, the workshop focused on professional writing, where all participants had the opportunity to improve and practice their writing skills. The purpose of these exercises was for participants to provide feedback to further improve their communication strategy.

KWN: We Must Fight Mentalities That Portray Women Within a Patriarchal Construct

09.12.2020

Members of the Kosovo Women’s Network (KWN) have been following concerning media articles which attack the former President Atifete Jahjaga’s contribution towards the improvement of gender equality in Kosovo.

Gender equality is guaranteed in the Constitution of the Republic of Kosovo. However, we must fight the language and mentality that continues to portray women within a patriarchal construct. We must challenge stereotypes and not accept them as part of our social, political and institutional discourse.

We need to say no to bullying towards women and girls, and discussions in the media on a woman’s appearance, or how she should behave in order to be socially acceptable. We must raise our voices against such mentality – which seeks to undermine women’s contributions to creating a society built on equal rights and gender equity. It sends a negative message to all those who would want to join the cause.

This mindset proves once again how much we need to do in our journey and mission to break down such gender inequalities and prejudices.

KWN Stands with Women of Krushe, Demanding Justice for War Crimes

03.12.2020

Download File

Today the Kosovo Women’s Network (KWN) stands beside the women, men and children of Krushe e Vogel and Krushe e Madhe villages as they demand justice for war crimes perpetrated against them and their family members. We deplore the special department of the Court of Appeals’ recent ruling, which reduced the prior sentence of Darko Tasic from 22 years to only 11 years.

According to betimiperdrejtesi.com, Tasic has been accused of participating with Serbian police and military forces in looting, destroying and burning the property of civilians in Krushe, during an 11-day period from 15 to 26 March 1999. He has been found guilty of taking agricultural vehicles, among other valuable items, from people in the village, including specifically the Hajdari family, resulting in a seven-year prison sentence. The Special Prosecution indictment also charged Tasic with desecrating dead bodies, burning corpses together with other Serbian police and paramilitary forces and throwing corpses in the Drin River, near Krusha e Vogel.

The reduction of his sentence represents a blatant failure of Kosovo’s justice system to ensure justice for war crimes. Without justice, there cannot be lasting peace.

We wish to emphasise that the crimes he is accused of committing are indeed war crimes, as per Article 7 of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, which defines ‘crimes against humanity’ as part of a widespread or systematic attack directed against any civilian population, including murder, extermination, deportation or forcible transfer of population, torture, sexual violence or persecution against any identifiable group based on political, racial, national, ethnic, cultural, religious and/or gender grounds.

We recall that United Nations Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 1325 on Women, Peace and Security (2000), UNSCR 1620 on Children and Armed Conflict (2005) and UNSCR 1674 on Protection of civilians in armed conflict (2006) emphasisethe responsibility of all States to put an end to impunity and to prosecute those responsible for genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes, including those relating to sexual and other violence against women and girls. In this regard, the UN has stressedthe need to exclude these crimes from amnesty provisions. Indeed, no agreement for amnesty exists between Kosovo and Serbia regarding war crimes. Nor should amnesty for crimes against humanity ever be allowed, in accordance with international law.

Together with the women of Krushe e Vogel, today we recall the unspeakable events that occurred on 26 March 1999, when 114 Albanian men civilians (70% of the men in the village) were separated from their families and massacred. The remains of 86 people in their village, including children, are still missing. We remember how the homes of Albanian families were burnt to the ground, their cattle killed and their fields destroyed. We recall how the women and children who survived were forced at gunpoint to walk down to the Drini River, where Serbian forces told them “drown themselves or walk to Albania”. We remember all too well sitting beside the women and children of Krushe when they returned home, after being refugees. In addition to mourning the loss of 114 of their family members, their livelihoods were in ruins without homes or any form of income.

Despite the aforementioned, well-documented war crimes perpetrated against civilians, there has been no official apology from the Government of Serbia regarding what occurred in Krusha e Vogel. Nor has there been appropriate justice for the aforementioned war crimes committed.

Despite their immense human and economic loss, the women of Krushe have found the fortitude to move forward. They have participated in democratic structures. They have learned to plough their fields, drive tractors, sell their products and make a living independently, all while facing serious gender stereotypes and seemingly insurmountable challenges.

At the very least, we have expected and awaited a strong message from our own institutions that war crimes will not be tolerated and that justice will be served. Kosovo’s justice institutions owe this much to the women of Krushe.

Therefore, we are deeply enraged at the grave injustice our own justice system has shown to the women of Krushe.

KWN is a network of 158 women’s rights organisations with the mission to support, protect and promote the rights and the interests of women and girls throughout Kosovo, regardless of their political beliefs, religion, age, level of education, sexual orientation and ability. KWN fulfils its mission through the exchange of experience and information, partnership and networking, research and advocacy. We remain committed to monitoring the implementation of UNSCR 1325 in Kosovo and in demanding justice for women where justice is due.

New KWN Policy Brief Monitor Gender Budgeting as per SDGs

30.11.2020

Kosovo Women’s Network (KWN), as part of the Gender Budget Watchdog Network, published its latest policy brief on “Monitoring the Implementation of SDG Indicator 5.c.1 in Kosovo” for 2019. The Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 5.c.1 Indicator on gender responsive budgeting includes “the percentage of countries with systems for tracking and making public allocations for gender equality and women’s empowerment.” This policy brief used UN Women methodology which assesses three main criterions: i) government’s intent to address gender equality by identifying whether policies, programs and resources/budgets are in place; ii) if Public Finance Management System promotes gender-related or gender-responsive goals; and, iii) if public resource allocation mechanisms exist to increase accountability.

In relation to the first criterion, findings include that there are government programs or policies designed to address well-identified gender equality goals in Kosovo, as well as procedures in place to ensure that these resources are executed according to the budget. However, the programs or policies do not have sufficient resources allocated within the budget to meet both their overall objectives and their gender equality goals.

In relation to the second criterion, findings include that the Ministry of Finance issues circulars or directives providing specific instructions on gender responsive budget allocations, as well as key programs and policies proposed for budget inclusion are subject to an ex-ante gender impact assessment. However, the government does not provide, in the context of the budget, a clear statement of gender-related goals, often known as the gender budget statement. Furthermore, gender-disaggregated statistics and data are not used systematically across key programs and policies in a way that can inform budget-related policy decisions. Additionally, there are not any prerequisites for implementing a gender perspective in the context of setting performance-related objectives. In Kosovo, key programs and policies are not subject to ex-post gender impact assessment and the budget as a whole is not subjected to an independent audit to assess the extent to which it promotes gender responsive policies.

In relation to the third criterion, findings include that information on gender equality allocations has not been published in an accessible, timely manner and in an easily understandable format on the website of the Ministry of Finance and/or relevant official bulletins or public announcements in 2019 in Kosovo.

Recommendations tailored to specific institutions, to ensure progress for implementing this Indicator, included:

a shift from Kosovo’s current system of line budgeting and economic categories to using programmatic budgeting, which would facilitate systematic use of GRB and performance budgeting;

the government should use budget performance indicators relating to gender equality for diverse budget lines and sectors, to demonstrate progress more clearly; gender-disaggregated statistics and data should be created, maintained, and used systematically to inform budget-related policy decisions by all budget organisations at the local and central level;

all key programs and policies to be subject to an ex-ante and ex-post gender impact assessment; the Parliamentary Committee on Budget and Transfers, and Committee for Human Rights, Gender Equality, Missing Persons and Petitions should collaborate jointly to organise public hearings to inform the finalisation of the budget;

Ministry of Finance in collaboration with Agency for Gender Equality should draft and provide a Gender Budget Statement for every Law on Budget proposed and adopted annually;

National Audit Office should publish analysis of the budget from a gender perspective at least once every five years, but ideally annually; municipalities should provide timely information on gender equality related budget allocations and expenditures; and, budget information and gender equality allocations, and

expenditures should be public and accessible on the website of the Ministry of Finance, in a timely and easily understandable manner.

For more details, please read the policy brief HERE.

This publication is part of the Gender Budget Watchdog Network, with partner organizations from Albania, Macedonia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Moldova, and Serbia, undertaking a joint action on gender responsive budgeting, supported by the Austrian Development Agency and co-funded by Sida.

After years of advocacy, KGSC pushes the adoption of the Policy against Sexual Harassment in Public Administration in Kosovo

30.11.2020

On 25 November, within the 16 Days of Activism against Gender based Violence, the Policy against Sexual Harassment in Public Administration was signed by the Prime Minister of the Republic of Kosovo, Mr. Avdullah Hoti. Kosovar Gender Studies Center (KGSC), in cooperation with the Office for Good Governance (OGG), with the purpose of implementing the Law no. 05 / L-021 on Protection from Discrimination and Law no. 05 / L-020 on Gender Equality, has prepared the Policy against Sexual Harassment in Public Administration in Kosovo.

The aim of the Policy against Sexual Harassment in Public Administration in Kosovo is to serve as an instrument and strategic orientation in creating a workplace environment where every form of sexual harassment is prevented and sanctioned.

The Policy, the first of this nature, was welcomed by feminists, WCSOs, Institutions, and International organizations working in Kosovo, and was considered as a big step in furthering women’s rights in the workplace.

“The policy contributes fundamentally to the protection of and promotion of gender equality as a fundamental value of the democratic development of the society and the Republic of Kosovo, with the aim of preventing any form of action that leads to violation of the personal dignity of each employee in public administration. This is a necessity in the implementation of the directives of the European Union that require from our institutions the fulfillment of these criteria in the process of European integration.” said Luljeta Demolli, Executive Director in KGSC

“This policy protects gender equality as a fundamental value of the democratic development of Kosovo society (…) and the Government remains committed to implementing active policies in the field of human rights, protection against discrimination and creating equal opportunities for all citizens in the Republic of Kosovo” Prime Minister Hoti stated.

Also, the Head of Office for Good Governance, Mr. Habit Hajredini added that they are “committed to implement and monitor this Policy and to protect employees from discrimination”.

This Policy was initiated by KGSC in cooperation with OGG in 2008 with financial support of USAID. However, throughout the years KGSC continued working in updating the Policy in accordance to the applicable law and continued its advocacy with every establishment to push it in the Governmental agenda.

This story is part of Preventing Discrimination of all forms in the Workplace action, supported by the Kosovo Women’s Network and their partners through the Action “Furthering Women’s Labour Rights”. This Action is financed by the European Union and co-funded by Swedish International Development Cooperation (Sida).

KWN Demands the Dismissal of Selmanaj, Kumnova Joins in Support

28.11.2020

The Kosovo Women’s Network (KWN), on 23 November, sent a letter to Prime Minister Avdullah Hoti, demanding the dismissal of Deputy Prime Minister Driton Selmanaj, following his statement on the issue of missing persons.

Following this demand, for five consecutive days (23-27 November), the Executive Director of KWN, Igballe Rogova, stood in silence in front of the building of the Government of Kosovo, demanding the dismissal of Deputy Prime Minister Selmanaj.

On the fifth day, Rogova was accompanied by Nesrete Kumnova, Head of the Organization “Mothers’ Cry”, who for two decades now is calling for justice for the missing persons. She joined in support of the call of the KWN and citizens who have already signed an online petition, calling for immediate dismissal of Selmanaj.

“If this topic is consumed for Selmanaj, for me it is not! This is the greatest sin that Selmanaj has committed, hence we are demanding his removal”, Kumnova said.

In the KWN’s letter sent to Prime Minister Hoti for the dismissal of Selmanaj is stated that for the KWN and its members, the issue of missing persons is a human rights issue. Moreover, as the KWN’s upcoming research “Where is my seat at the table” shows, the issue of missing persons is one of the most important issues that the citizens of Kosovo want to be addressed by the Government towards achieving a lasting peace in Kosovo and the region.

As rallies and mass protests are not allowed under the COVID-19 pandemic fighting measures, every day of this protest has been held in compliance with the applicable measures.

HERE you can read the full letter that the KWN addressed to Prime Minister Hoti regarding the dismissal of Selmanaj.

MEP Von Cramon-Taubadel Addresses EU Special Representative Lajcak on Women, Peace and Security, following KWN Advocacy

27.11.2020

On 25 Nov., MEP Viola Von Cramon-Taubadel, EP Rapporteur for Kosovo, wrote a letter EU Special Representative for the Belgrade-Pristina Dialogue Miroslav Lajčák to ask why he had not met with women’s rights organisations in Kosovo on his recent visit with civil society in Kosovo pertaining to the Dialogue between Kosovo and Serbia.

In accordance with United Nations Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 1325 on Women, Peace and Security, actors engaged in supporting and mediating peace processes should ensure women’s engagement in these processes, including women’s rights organisations.

MEP Von Cramon-Taubadel’s letter followed her meeting with the Kosovo Women’s Network (KWN), Kosovar Gender Studies Centre and Mitrovica Women’s Association for Human Rights last week, supported by the Kvinna till Kvinna Foundation. During the meeting, activists from these organisations expressed their concerns regarding women’s underrepresentation in peace processes, as per the UNSCR 1325 on Women Peace and Security. More specifically, they observed that the EU Special Representative for the Belgrade-Pristina Dialogue Miroslav Lajčák had not met with leading women’s rights activists or organisations during his consultations with civil society organisations in Pristina a few weeks prior.

Following this conversation, the MEP Von Cramon-Taubadel addressed Mr. Lajčák with the following letter:

 “Dear Mr. Lajčák,

I would like to call your attention to an important aspect of the Belgrade-Pristina Dialogue.

Although United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325 on Women, Peace and Security

calls for the inclusion of women in all peace processes, and the EU has committed to

implementing this Resolution in its EU Strategic Approach to Women, Peace and Security

(https://www.consilium.europa.eu/media/37412/st15086-en18.pdf), women have not been

sufficiently included in the Kosovo-Serbia Dialogue.

While this resolution and its sister resolutions point to the important role of women’s rights

organisations in peace processes, I have been informed that you have not met with these

organisations or women’s rights activists in your most recent visit to Kosovo. I would like to

underline the need for a gender-sensitive EU foreign policy, which should be applied in any

dialogue and on any issue. Could you therefore please clarify why you have not included

women’s rights organisations in the meeting that you held with civil society?

Furthermore, what will you do to fulfil the EU’s commitments to including more women in

peace processes, including in both track one and track two diplomacy, related to the

Kosovo-Serbia Dialogue in the future? It has been brought to my attention that the

negotiating team of Pristina does not include any women. Have you raised this issue with?

the leaders of the negotiating team or at any other forum? “

KWN highly appreciates MEP Von Cramon-Taubadel’s support and commitment to advancing gender equality and the women, peace and security agenda in Kosovo. KWN has also sent a letter on this issue to Mr. Lajčák previously, available here:

The aforementioned meeting between women’s rights organisations and MEP Von Cramon-Taubadel took place as part of the annual EU Advocacy Week, supported by the Kvinna till Kvinna Foundation. Through this initiative, every year, women’s rights organizations from the region have the opportunity to meet and share their concerns related to gender equality in the Western Balkans with relevant persons at the European Parliament, EU Commission, and European External Action Service, among others.
