The Kosovo Women’s Network (KWN) has a clear mission: to support and empower women in all spheres of life. Collaboration with women at various levels is a long-term process, aimed at creating real opportunities for active participation in politics and society.

A successful example of this commitment is the Network’s collaboration with Arijeta Qafleshi Skeraj from the Municipality of Dragash, who today holds the position of Chairwoman of the Municipal Assembly. Once a member of the Lobby for Gender Equality in KWN, Skeraj has benefited from continuous support from the network in her political journey.

In February 2024, the executive director of KWN, Igballe Rogova, visited Dragash at a time when Mrs. Skeraj already held the position in that post. During the visit, Rogova stated that “Dragash has become an example of gender equality and equal opportunities between women and men, and this makes us very happy.”

On the other hand, Skeraj recalled the important role that KWN has played in her journey, especially through the meetings of the Lobby for Gender Equality – an initiative of KWN that brings together women in politics and activists to promote tangible changes at the local level. She singled out the encouraging words of Mrs. Rogova as an incentive to continue her race in politics.

On the same day, Rogova received recognition and thanks from other officials of that municipality, who appreciated her contribution and that of KWN in empowering women in that municipality.

Through numerous meetings and continuous support, KWN continues to be a strong ally for women who want to be part of the changes in society.
