Week of Women 2015
My
name is Adelina Qarri, and I’m very happy to be part of the international organization
YMCA, empowering youth all over the world.
My role is to coordinate the program called Y Women/Man with the project
focusing on gender equality. The project also helps youth to continue education
and take leadership roles in order to promote new standards for gender equality
in our society that it is still patriarchal.

Panel of experts |
The theme of this year’s week of women was Rule
of Law, with panel discussions on different themes like domestic violence,
corruption, women in security sector, and most important sexual victims from
the last war in Kosovo. We learned a lot from the stories of power woman from
Kosovo that beside barriers, threats and stereotypes woman from the Security
Sector, Media, Public and Private sectors, Politics and Civil Society fight for
their rights, they are successful, and most importantly being role models for
younger generations.
The
best parts of this week were also the trainings; public speaking, how to remove
the stress, and how to be able to talk in front of the public with confidence and
also important tips for body language in public from Pamela Hart.
There
was training about vision, progress, how to identify our goals, finding time
and courage to follow the path to achieve those goals by Shannon O Connell.
Also
we had a training for social media, how to use properly social media to achieve
our goals and to improve and promote our work from Valon Canhasi.

This
week was incredible, I was able to present our work that we do in GWY/YMCA with
the youth, helping the young people being leaders in our society, and especially
empowering young women and promoting gender equality among society.
I
will finish this blog showing to young girls that whatever obstacles that you
deal with during your road to success never give up, because those obstacles
will make you stronger and powerful, fight for your rights, desires and career.
“Whatever women do they must do twice as well
as men to be thought half as good.
Luckily this is not difficult”. (Charlotte Whitton)
