Most Kosovo women have been sexually harassed at least once in their lives, according to a new survey published on Monday by the Kosova Women Network, KWN.

A similar survey in 2014 presented a similar situation, with 63.5 per cent of women reporting sexual harassment, and 24.3 per cent of interviewed men.
