On 18 April, KWN held its bimonthly meeting. Guests included 52 representatives of member organizations, Board members, friends and supporter of KWN, representatives from institutions, and KWN staff. During this meeting, Gentiana Murati, Project Assistant for the Kosovo Women’s Fund (KWF), informed participants for the beneficiaries of the 9th round of KWF, by informing them on the names of the beneficiary organizations, the amount they are receiving, and which donor is supporting them.

    “The 10th round of KWF will open up very soon, so those organizations that did not win this time, do not hesitate, come, visit us, let us work together, and let us hope that you will succeed in the 10th round” – Gentiana stated. Afterwards, one representative of the climbers who went to Mt. Kilimanjaro a few weeks prior, Ms. Merita Gashi, shared her story of this brave account, which included them putting up a banner stating “Justice for Victims of Sexual Violence during the Kosovo war”. This flag was put up together with the Kosovo flag.

    Afterwards, Shkumbin Asllani presented with the theme “Gender Equality in Real Estate Property” since KWN soon will start a campaign in this issue, as part of a project supported by PPSE Swisscontact which will include five municipalities in assisting women to register their property. Within this project, NGO Artpolis will use forum theatre in raising awareness in communities; KWN members will be trained and then go in door to door campaigns to support women physically in registering their property, This includes free legal aid and support in cost payment if needed. There will be collaboration with member organizations of KWN which have accepted grants from Kosovo Women’s Fund and with members of Lobby for Gender Equality through the same method, in order to influence as many people as possible.
