Summary: This report presents the results of
research into the protection and care
situation of Kosovar adolescents in
Albania and Kosovo.
This report presents the results of a participatory research study
conducted by the Women's Commission for Refugee Women and
Children and Kosovar adolescents of all ethnic backgrounds in
Kosovo and Albania into the protection and care situation of
Kosovar adolescents in Albania and Kosovo. Despite substantial
international investments in programming for youth in the first
year following the war, the report finds that reconstruction efforts
have failed to adequately address the situation of the majority of
Kosovo's population - young people under 24. And while many
young people benefited from much-needed psychosocial efforts,
thousands of others with critical needs continue to fall through
the cracks of international and local responses. This research was
prompted by the refugee emergency situation in the region and
as part of an ongoing Women's Commission campaign to increase
services and protection to war-affected adolescents. pdf: www.theirc.org/wcrwc/reports/womenscommission-kosovo-adol-01.01.pdf
