The new \u201cWomen\u2019s Piazza\u201d on Prishtina\u2019s Mother Teresa Boulevard innovatively sells women\u2019s products while simultaneously organizing street events to raise awareness about women\u2019s rights.<\/p>\n

The Women\u2019s Piazza, run by NGO Rikotta, sells baked goods everyday on this busy pedestrian square. In addition to helping their women members earn some extra income, they plan to use this public space to organize four street campaigns on topics including women\u2019s right to education; participation in decision-making; breast cancer; and people who suffered domestic violence and trafficking. NGO Rikotta opened the Piazza because they were concerned by the lack of citizen initiatives to further women’s rights and participation in public life.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cCitizen initiatives are very good tools for promoting solidarity among women\u2019s organizations, as well as gender equality,\u201d said Pranvera Bullaku, Rikotta\u2019s Executive Director. She hopes that the Piazza will raise by-passers\u2019 awareness about issues that women face in everyday life.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The Women\u2019s Piazza is a collaborative initiative undertaken with the Municipality of Prishtina, which provided the venue. Agim Gashi, the Head of the Public Services Department at the Municipality of Prishtina, officially opened \u201cWomen\u2019s Piazza\u201d on Aug. 12, 2013.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cWe intend to support all positive initiatives of Prishtina citizens, particularly those focusing on supporting women\u2019s rights and women\u2019s hard work,\u201d said Agim Gashi, Head of the Public Services Department.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This initiative also received support from the KWN Kosovo Women\u2019s Fund, from which Rikotta received a grant for \u20ac2,990 in July 2013.<\/div>\n

You can drop by any day to learn more about this initiative and\/or purchase some products made by women: the Piazza is located on Mother Teresa Boulevard in Prishtina, next to the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
