This is an important decision since it enables the establishing of an institutional framework for gender equality, like the Kosovo Government and the ministries responsible for submitting draft proposals of the Kosovo program on gender equality (including the appointment of gender equality officers responsible for coordination of the gender related issues within their respective ministries) to the Kosovo Assembly. In addition, this Decision calls on local government bodies to set up their Offices for Gender Equality and to appoint gender equality officers. The Law also calls on the Kosovo Government to establish its Office for Gender Equality as a separate government institution, which was done in July 2005. This government body will implement and monitor the application of the Law on Gender Equality in Kosovo, as well as of any other relevant legislation, in order to prevent gender related discrimination. |
