\u201cWe will support each-other, united we will advocate for greater support of your work in order to better support victims of gender-based violence and trafficking victims\u201d said Rogova.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Fidane Hyseni from the Mitrovica\u2019s shelter shared one of the obstacles they face during their work activity.<\/p>\n
\u201cA common challenge we are facing is the lack of alimony implementation by the ex-husbands of sheltered women. They (ex-husbands) are switching bank accounts and so it is becoming difficult to track their incomes. This directly is affecting the well-being of women and children, as in addition to the traumatic violence experience, women and children are left without bread and water too\u201d, she stated.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The Serbian feminist activist, Lepa Mladjenovic, broadly spoke about understanding the patriarchal structure and violence as a form of holding manpower.<\/p>\n
\u201cBeing a woman or a man is a social construct, and the roles interconnected to these two genders are utterly built by the patriarchal system, which is always in favour of man and considers him to be in a higher position than the woman\u201d, Mladjenovic said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
On the third day of the workshop, Ariana Qosaj-Mustafa, the Chairwoman of the KWN\u2019s Board briefed participants on Manual for managing the cases of Domestic Violence Shelters, a manual drafted in harmony with the requirements of the Istanbul Convention.<\/p>\n
