The Kosovo Women Network (KWN) published the "Sexual Harassment in Kosovo" report today, which states that cases of sexual harassment seem quite frequent in Kosovo. For the first time, this report examines the legal framework related to sexual harassment in Kosovo; perceptions and attitudes towards sexual harassment and institutional response. The report aims to address the lack of data on sexual harassment in Kosovo and to monitor the implementation of numerous legal frameworks of public institutions.

The research included a review of the legal framework, a survey conducted in 2015 with 1,315 participants (51.6% women and 48.4% men), representing all the ethnicities of Kosovo. It also included more than 200 interviews with representatives of institutions that have some responsibility in the implementation of an appropriate legal framework, civil society organizations and other key stakeholders.

Women are considered more likely to have experienced sexual harassment than men. "64.1% of women and 32.5% of men have experienced sexual harassment," the report says. It further notes that individuals aged 18-25 are more likely to report cases of sexual harassment.  The report concludes with recommendations for amending the legal framework and improving institutional response to sexual harassment.
