Only 7% small interest in women's political engagement

Only 7 percent of women have an interest in political engagement. So says the National Survey Report “Grata in Kosovo- what they think, want and make Friedrich Ebert Stiftung (FES)'s”.

And only 6 percent of women share their property with their partner, and only 4 percent manage with money at home.

The programme co-ordinator at FES, Besa Luzha, said women involved in the survey are in large numbers from Pristina and Prizren.

According to her, this report reveals that only three percent of women interviewed are locked in politics.

The “have been only a few with doctors and most are in elementary school, and 5 percent are not even finished in elementary school. Over 66 percent are children, 26 percent are single, 9 percent are widows, and only 1 percent are divorced”, she said.

Luzha has also added that 74 percent of women interviewed claim that having children is the most important thing.

At the very least, 7 percent have an interest in commitment or political participation, for us this has turned out to be a concern. 85 percent believe family members, and the second or third comes into religious leadership. There's a awareness of gender equality, but when you see the numbers it's a concern. 42 percent feel that they should not talk about different cases. 93 percent are satisfied with their family life”, Luzha has added.

Company director “Idra Research”, Nora Jusufi said the report was working with about a thousand women in the country.

A thousand surveys -- 80 percent Albanian -- have increased the samples for communities to perform statistically important analysis”, she said.
