Technical Reports and Document

Disease outbreaks affect women and men differently, and pandemics make existing inequalities for women and girls and discrimination of other marginalized groups such as persons with disabilities and those in extreme poverty, worse.

State of World Popoulation 2018

State of World Population Report

No country can yet claim to have made reproductive rights a reality for all. Choices are limited for far too many women.

Prevalence of Violence in Adolescents’ Relationships

Technical Reports and Document

Despite some of the achievements, problem related to gender inequality still persist at a wide scale in the Kosovar society. One of the most problematic areas pertaining to gender relations is linked to gender based violence, which is evidenced to begin very early in the lives of Kosovo youth. Until recently, in Kosovo most of the studies on partner violence were focused mainly on married or cohabiting couples, however, with few initial on violence in schools but missing studies including individuals in nonresidential dating relationships, the relationship type that is most common during early adulthood.

Patterns of conflict that precipitate domestic violence in the adult years may start in adolescent dating experiences.
