KOSOVO MAPS

Two selected topics from the UNSCRs on WPS  PARTICIPATION – Promoting women’s full engagement in peace processes and post-conflict reconstruction and governance structures;  PROTECTION – Mitigating the impact of armed conflict on women in the form of sexual violence, displacement and other hardships, including through a rights-based approach consistent with international humanitarian and human rights law;

Women’s activism

Issues addressed (1) Participation:  New constitution based a.o. on CEDAW (Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination Against Women)  Quota system of 40 % in all public functions  Women’s Caucus in the parliament  Agency for Gender Equality in the Prime Minister's Office  Gender Equality Officers at municipal level

Issues addressed (2) Protection from violence and injustice  War rapes : Supportive NGOs and prosecution of suspects  Domestic violence : Shelter movement; Victim’s Advocate  Human Trafficking : National Action Plan, Training for police and judiciary  Inheritance rights for women : Campaigns and Legal Aid

Conclusions  UNSCRs are applied by both government and the women’s movement  UNSCRs on Women, Peace and Security are used as instruments for expanding gender equality principles into governance structures  UNSCRs on WPS help to address injustices in the patriarchal/gender structure of the society  UNSCRs on WPS legitimate the focus on addressing violence against women (war rape, domestic violence)

Conclusions continued  The meaning of ‘security’ is expanded towards the concept of human security (incl. legal security, health security, political security, economic security)  Creating, supporting and strengthening women’s alliances is the precondition for effective participation  The notion of violence against women seen as a security threat and women’s rights as a security concern allows for new thinking in the governance of war and peace!
