The Prime Minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, has stated that inequality must be fought from early childhood.
During the publication of the monitoring report “Assessment Card” by the Coalition of NGOs for Child Protection in Kosovo (KOMF), Kurti emphasized that the government has ensured increased support for social policies and introduced new schemes to create equality from an early age.
Kurti: We have ensured increased support for social policies and introduced new schemes
“Fully aware that there is much work to be done, we have ensured that support for social policies is increased and new schemes are introduced, creating equality from an early age. Our focus has been that no one is left behind and that inequality is fought in early childhood. Three years ago, we introduced allowances for children under the age of 16, which we doubled and tripled this year, as well as allowances for mothers. So far, over 410,000 children and nearly 60,000 mothers are benefiting,” said Kurti.
Meanwhile, the Director of the Office for Good Governance in the Prime Minister’s Office, Habit Hajredini, said that this office has built a platform for children’s rights, which provides updated data on children’s rights in various qualitative fields.

“As part of the ongoing efforts to strengthen the child rights monitoring system in the Republic of Kosovo, the Office for Good Governance in the Prime Minister’s Office has built a platform for children’s rights, which offers updated data on the qualitative field of children’s rights, based on publications from the Convention on the Rights of the Child,” Hajredini added.
Donjetë Kelmendi from KOMF emphasized that this report serves as a tool to unify views and opinions on the situation of children’s rights in the country.

This report is a tool to unify views on the situation of children’s rights in the country,” Kelmendi pointed out.
