Youth Initiative for Human Rights - Kosovo and Kosovo Women’s Network condemn gender discrimination in Kosovo
Most recently, the highest legislative authority in Kosovo, the Assembly, through its actions and the actions of its deputies have shown the very gender discrimination culture that continues to exist in Kosovo. Furthermore, such actions also show the complete disregard of the constitutional order, international obligations and legislative framework, which the Assembly has contributed to establishing in respect of discrimination and particularly discrimination based on gender. Similarly, public education bodies such as the University of Prishtina through their vacancy announcements show the discriminatory culture based on gender that exists within this institution.

Freedom of Expression in Kosovo
Youth Initiative for Human Rights call on the authorities to realize changes to the Kosovo Criminal Code in respect of this as soon as practically possible, in order for journalists not to be obstructed from practicing their profession and informing citizens of Kosovo regarding issues of public importance. Furthermore, Youth Initiative for Human Rights takes this opportunity to remind the governing institutions that guaranteeing freedom of expression is a negative obligation which requires government officials to abstain from interfering in free speech.
