Municipalities and candidates doing little to end isolation.

“This campaign isn’t any different from times before, because they talk about infrastructure in detail, about sewers, about a project, but they do not talk about what women and children will gain for their well being.”
Luljeta Demolli, Barazia co-founder“I really feel like raising the voice of women in the villages. Nobody is doing this. I know women who are educated women but don’t have a job. I know illiterate women but they can do something if they are supported.”
Valdete Sahiti, Vitia Assembly candidate
