The parties that were in power in the past 10 years and the women that represent their policies are mainly responsible for the situation and vacuum created in Kosovo in issues like education, women representation in decision-making, their representation in the security sector, and their systematic discrimination.
Treating women as a unique category has created circumstances in which it is women particularly that are the ones who are excluded from institutions, especially in rural areas, and are not given the necessary space to raise their voice for their rights, which are guaranteed by the Constitution of the Republic of Kosovo.
