đŸ€Delighted to co-operate with OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR) in the conference dedicated to Freedom of thought, conscience and religion or belief (FoRB).

The event brought together Deans, professors and law and theology students from public universities, private colleges and theology schools/ seminary to discuss with international and local experts the practical implications of freedom of religion or belief and jointly discuss challenging issues in this area.

💬The discussion focused on FoRB and its relationship with other rights, how FoRB is placed in curricula in different educational systems, and how the students engage with this content.

Furthermore, panelists illustrated practical examples of why FoRB is relevant to people in minorities and majority groups, and recommended different methods for lecturers to approach the topic of religiously-motivated ‘hate speech’ with their students. During the conference, participants highlighted the need for joint co-operation and networking among the public universities, private colleges, and theology schools/ seminary.

Later that afternoon, we were joined by religious representatives, to discuss religious engagement to counter violence against women and girls.

💬Ambassador Gerard McGurk emphasized the need to pay special attention to security situation surrounding women and girls in rural areas, particularly those living in vulnerable socio-economic conditions. The crucial role that religious leaders and communities play in addressing gender-based violence against women and girls was also highlighted.

Participants at the roundtable discussion produced fresh ideas on reinforcing the role of women in the society, and on overcoming victimization and stigmatization.

The OSCE continues to promote a message of zero tolerance for all forms of violence against women.

Ata theksuan se komisioneri do të ketë si prioritet në punën e tij arsimimin, gjuhët dhe historinë e kontestuar në Kosovë dhe përtej.

Nga drejtuesit e UP-së u theksua nevoja e integrimit të të gjitha komuniteteve dhe institucioneve të arsimit në sistemin arsimor të Kosovës, për të thyer përfundimisht ciklin e trashëgimisë ndarëse nga e kaluara.

U diskutua gjithashtu për sfidat që hasin të diplomuarit në vend dhe rajon lidhur me njohjen e diplomave.

Rektori i Universitetit të Prishtinës, prof. Arben Hajrullahu, bashkë me prorektoren për ndërkombëtarizim dhe shkëmbim akademik, prof. Rozafa Basha, falënderuan zëvendësshefen e Misionit të OSBE-së në Kosovë, znj. Cornelia Taylor, dhe drejtuesen e Departamentit për të Drejtat e Njeriut dhe Komunitetet, znj. Kavya Rajan, për vizitën dhe shprehën përkushtimin për vazhdim dhe thellim bashkëpunimi.

📌How can Organizations of Persons with Disabilities (OPDs) drive real change?

This week, the Mission brought together OPDs and disability rights activists for an interactive workshop focused on strengthening their watchdog role to support their effective participation in monitoring and advocating for the rights of persons with disabilities in line with the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD).

📝Through hands-on exercises and open discussions, participants explored how OPDs can monitor and advocate for key CRPD principles and ensure the rights of persons with disabilities are protected and promoted in practice.

đŸ‘„The workshop also emphasized the importance of co-operation between OPDs, public institutions, and civil society stakeholders to foster stronger collective advocacy and ensure the effective protection of disability rights.

Together, we’re building a stronger, more inclusive society that ensures every voice counts and no one is left behind. đŸ€
