The OSCE Mission in Kosovo launched today the report ''Shelters for Victims of Domestic Violence in Kosovo. ''

The report provides an overview of current situation in the shelters for domestic violence in Kosovo, outlines the legal and institutional framework that regulates their functioning and municipal mechanisms on protection from domestic violence.

It elaborates on number of challenges and provides conclusions and a set of recommendations for institutions and shelters themselves.

Struggling to make ends meet as government support requires 50 per cent of their budget to come from other sources, NGO-run shelters for victims of domestic abuse might face closure once again.
