She attended her first KWN meeting in 2012 as an interpreter for the Association of Deaf People (ADP).<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cDuring this meeting I learnt a lot of new information about NGOs and their work,\u201d she said. \u201cWhen I saw the possibilities that the network offers for women, I decided to start a new NGO for deaf women. I want them to have more space, since this space wasn\u2019t provided in the other NGO so far.\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">In July 2013, Krenare formed the Association of Deaf Women in Prizren, an NGO aiming to empower deaf women. She is aware of the many issues deaf women face, including insufficient interpreters. For example, if a woman would like to receive a medical check-up, without an interpreter it is very hard for her to explain her needs to the doctor. Nor can she understand the doctor\u2019s diagnosis or treatment. The Association for Deaf Women seeks to help women resolve these issues.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Krenare admits that creating a new organization is no easy task: compiling a statute, forming a board and other administrative issues. However, \u201cKWN staff were always there to help me with documents, procedures and any other issue,\u201d she said.<\/div>\n<p>\u201cSo far, I am really satisfied with the interest and cooperation shown by our NGO members,\u201d Krenare said. \u201cTogether we\u2019re working on finding ways to fund our ideas. In this way we will be able to empower deaf women in our municipality.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Krenare Ajdini interprets in sign language at the KWN Annual Meeting in 2012.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3333738,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_FSMCFIC_featured_image_caption":"","_FSMCFIC_featured_image_nocaption":"","_FSMCFIC_featured_image_hide":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[15,57,66],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1111110","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-building-the-capacity-of-kwn","category-news","category-programs"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/womensnetwork.org\/sq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1111110","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/womensnetwork.org\/sq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/womensnetwork.org\/sq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/womensnetwork.org\/sq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/womensnetwork.org\/sq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1111110"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/womensnetwork.org\/sq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1111110\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3337733,"href":"https:\/\/womensnetwork.org\/sq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1111110\/revisions\/3337733"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/womensnetwork.org\/sq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3333738"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/womensnetwork.org\/sq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1111110"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/womensnetwork.org\/sq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1111110"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/womensnetwork.org\/sq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1111110"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
