This has worried us much more than perhaps the fact that there are\nstill many unemployed women&#8221;, said Luzha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Professor at the University of Prishtina,\nBesa Luzha, at the international conference, added that the struggle of women\nto be included in the political scene and in the media is continuing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;In the beginning, it was a challenge to\nincrease the participation and commitment of women in political life, I believe\nthat it has more or less increased because we have had a commitment, society in\ngeneral, to ensure once the presence through the quota in the Assembly.\nHowever, gradually the women who have been engaged have managed to win the\nvotes of the citizens even without a quota and to be present. And this is the\nscheme that appears when we focus on the political part. It is interesting, the\nbattle still continues because until we see that political scene in the media,\nthe presence is a little bigger than before&#8221;, she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the second panel of the international\nconference &#8221; Freedom of\nSpeech Borders&#8221;, Luzha added that women are reluctant to take leadership\npositions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;In a recent study that we did at the\nFriedrich Ebert Foundation, I was the head of the research process, the study\nwas done only for the women of Kosovo, in all spheres, it is very interesting\nwhen it now opens the focus to the entire Kosovar society, not only on stage, you\ncan see that women&#8217;s involvement in political life is still very small. The 30\npercent, 40 percent that we see in the assembly may be an optical illusion in\nthe sense that we have achieved a lot of success, but the real result,\naccording to the research, is that only 3 percent of Kosovo women are actually\ndirectly engaged in politics. Only 11 percent of them are interested in politics&#8221;,\nshe said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the conference hosted by KosovaPress, members of the largest European\nnetwork of news agencies EANA (www.newsalliance.org), as well as that of\nSouth-Eastern Europe ABNA SE (www.abnase.com), are participating, where\nKosovaPress is member in these networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Especially for this conference, Nataliya Kostina, head of the Department\nfor Foreign Relations at the Ukrainian News Agency \u2018Ukrinform\u2019, also comes from\nKyiv.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first panel focused on the contemporary challenges facing news\nagencies and media in this period of great global change.\n\nIn the second panel, the speakers were the\npresident of the Prishtina MALL Board, Fatmir Zymberi, the leader of the UBT\nCollege Edmond Hajrizi, university professor Besa Luzha, Kushtrim Krasniqi from\nthe Kosovo Olympic Committee, and Tualant Hodaj from the Kosovo Football\nFederation, who will present views about the possibility of creating synergies\nto support innovative initiatives that advance social prosperity. \/Sh.
