Kurti wants more women in Kosovo Police

The country's prime minister, Albin Kurti, has said it is not enough to represent women in the Kosovo Police.

He, at the conference where “The Agency for Gender Equality was launched in the Kosovo Police”, has stressed that this project aims to eliminate all irregularities in terms of women's rights at the KP.

The inclusion of women in the Kosovo Police sector has now created a tradition and a reality for our country, but is still far from demanding representation of the Law for Gender Equality and the capabilities of our country's girls and women”.

“are a series of factors that make women's participation in this sector difficult, starting with cultural customs that still keep women out of uniform. To engage more girls and women in this sector, we all have to work, we need to create safe environments and unpredictable, with effective policies and instruments that prevent and condemn any way of dealing with sexual harassment at work. In the security sector, there must be more women, that efficient public security and lasting peace”.

The participation of women in police decision making is the necessity of time, not just formal involvement, but active participation is needed. The inclusion means women's contribution, but participation means they too will win. They contribute, so they have to win, if there is no women's voice in institutional response to human security threats, and the response will be semi-balancing, and will lose the necessary shades for effective answers to life's dignity and civic values”.

” The Agency for Gender Equality in the Kosovo Police aims at these risks to overcome by commitment, co-ordination, budgetary adequates and professionalism in the implementation of any activity”, Kurti has said.
