The country's president, Vjosa Osmani, asked all institutions in Kosovo to prioritize gender equality. According to her, the more there is gender equality, the more effective the fight against corruption is.

At the roundtable organized by the Kosovo Institute of Justice (IKD), where the report "Gender Dimension of Corruption" was published, Osmani said that gender equality still remains a challenge in Kosovo.

She emphasized that based on global indices, the most powerful countries in the fight against corruption are those that have ensured gender equality.

"Kosovo is a country that is taking important steps towards stability and development, but as we know, many challenges still remain. Gender inequality in any sector is one of them. I think that this should become one of the main priorities of all the links of our institutions in order to build stronger institutions, to increase trust in these institutions", she said.

The director of the International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Bureau (INL), Tamra Greig, was also part of the table, who said that gender equality is a strategic way to reshape the political, economic and social system.

According to her, corruption is a global challenge that every country experiences, therefore a more suitable solution is required.

On the other hand, Arrita Rezniqi, program manager at IKD, said that based on studies, the more women there are in power, the less corruption there is.

She also presented the analysis where, according to her, it results that leading positions in the country are dominated by men.

"The more women there are in power, the less corruption there is. This has really made the integration of the gender perspective to be discussed more and more as a tool to fight corruption as a whole", she declared.

The organization of this table was done in the framework of marking the Week against corruption in Kosovo.
