On the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, the head of EULEX, Alexandra Papadopoulou, confirmed EULEX’s commitment to advance and strengthen gender aspects in all of its activities, both within the Mission and in its engagement with Kosovo institutions. In a press release issued at the start of 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence Campaign, Papadopoulou also observed that a staggering amount of women in Kosovo still experience some form of physical, sexual or psychological violence in their lifetime. “Gender-based violence is a human rights violation. It deprives women of enjoying fundamental freedoms and represents a serious obstacle to equality between women and men,” pointed out Papadopoulou.
