Established in 1996, the Kosovo Women’s Network (KWN) was originally an informal network of women’s groups and organizations from various regions in Kosovo. Since its inception, KWN has developed into a network that advocates on behalf of Kosovar women at the local, regional and international level. KWN staff possess knowledge and expertise in various fields and up to 30 years’ experience in research, advocacy, policy advice, capacity development, legal aid, community development, and public outreach. Representing the interests of its members, including women’s organizations of all ethnic groups from throughout Kosovo, KWN is a leader among civil society organizations in the country and the whole region. KWN cooperates regularly with other women’s groups in the region, both informally and formally.
