On May 5th, the next Salon in the municipalities of Kosovo has been held in Peja, on the topic “Shared parental leave: Are men willing to share this responsability?”
Opening remarks were delivered by: Islam Husaj, Head of the Municipal Assembly in Peja, who stressed that by not having parental leave to men discriminates them on a right which belongs to them as family members. Fatmire Kollqaku, former Kosovo Assembly deputy, said that women should have the opportunity to share maternity leave with men, so that they do not lose their jobs. Besim Shatri, SBASHK representative stressed that due to maternity leave, young women have less access to employment than men.
