In a powerful demonstration of solidarity, the Kosovo rugby team, during the warm-up session before their match against Montenegro, proudly adorned their jerseys with the UNFPA logo. This symbolic gesture underscores their commitment to promoting awareness and actively advocating for a violence-free world.
The UNFPA Kosovo Head of Office expressed deep satisfaction, stating, "We are particularly delighted that the Kosovo team has dedicated this momentous game to the cause of women's rights and empowerment. Their commitment resonates with UNFPA's mission to foster positive change and advance gender equality."
Moreover, the coach Mark Barett emphasized the team's ongoing dedication to the cause. He stated, "This is not just a one-time effort. The Kosovo team is committed to wearing campaign-themed t-shirts throughout the year, in every game, and even during training sessions. We aim to continually promote awareness and contribute to the broader mission of ending violence against women."
“Wearing the UNFPA logo on our jerseys goes beyond the rugby pitch; it signifies our stand against gender-based violence. As athletes, we have a unique platform to influence positive change, and we are proud to leverage it in partnership with UNFPA," said Elton Rexhepi, a player from the Kosovo rugby team.
This comprehensive commitment from the Kosovo rugby team reflects a powerful synergy with UNFPA's objectives, highlighting the transformative potential of sports in championing social change and gender equality.
