President Tha\u00e7i said that, after the receiving of the report the initial feeling is that of anguish with the position of the women, with the violence exerted over women, with the threats on their wellbeing and safety in the Kosovar society.<\/p>\n
According to the President, deep traumas of the war and genocide, of the repression and discrimination, of the exclusion and denial, stem deep into our society.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey also touch the position of women and the opportunities of the whole society to face with the deepest and most important of problems,\u201d said President Tha\u00e7i.<\/p>\n
The head of state added that in this report, he also found reasons for optimism and courage to continue with the development and transformation of the Kosovar society.<\/p>\n
He mentioned the three most important achievements of this report.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe first achievement is that Kosovo has also been included in this important research\u201d said President Tha\u00e7i, adding that he is aware\u201d of the obstacles made to the state of Kosovo in international organisations.<\/p>\n
President said that he does not want to speak on how unjust this is to the people of Kosovo, but expressed his appreciation for the inclusion of Kosovo in this research.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am grateful for your placement of the rights and freedoms of the individuals, of the citizen of Kosovo, above any daily politics and interests of different states or groups\u201d.<\/p>\n
President Tha\u00e7i further added that the second achievement is that it does not only undertake the mere stating of the situation but looks for causes, analyses causes and consequences and provides recommendations on the improvement of the situation.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe sample of the respondents, questions, interviews, have all brought to light data which call for debates and substantial discussions in the Kosovar society. Furthermore, the survey which you are publishing today, does not only state the situation, but looks for causes, analyses causes and consequences and provides recommendations on the improvement of the situation. We are talking about the improvement of the position of women in Kosovo, for their empowerment,\u201d added President Tha\u00e7i.<\/p>\n
Emancipation of the women in Kosovo, said the President, means the emancipation of the whole society.<\/p>\n
\u201cEmpowerment of women in Kosovo means the empowerment of the principles of freedom, of equality, of the dignity, which are valid for the whole of our society\u201d said President Tha\u00e7i, adding that \u201cthrough your work, you are helping the general social debate in Kosovo and the emancipation of the whole society.\u201d<\/p>\n
The head of state said that by organising such conferences, the issue of gender equality and of the needs of women is held at the top of the agenda.<\/p>\n
\u201cData which you will disclose here today will contribute to a more argumentative debate. Your recommendations will help in undertaking of the steps needed to improve the position of the women in Kosovar society. It is true that despite challenges and our history, we have made great steps ahead in empowerment of the women and in the advancement of their role in the society. But, this is just the beginning,\u201d said the President.<\/p>\n
President Tha\u00e7i also added that we still have a long journey ahead in order to guarantee full gender equality in Kosovo.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith our dedication, our knowledge, and with your support, we will continue to move ahead until every single woman, every single girl, feels equal in our society. Feels safe, accepted, protected, equal and free,\u201d said President Tha\u00e7i.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
