‘The way we were raised’ is not backed by science

Feeding children cow’s milk before their first birthday remains a health problem worldwide, but mothers in Kosovo cling to this practice for tradition’s sake despite its dangers.

The silent struggle of breastfeeding mothers

For doctors and mothers alike, breastfeeding sits in a precarious position between institutional negligence and societal prejudice, remaining one of the lowest-funded health issues in Kosovo.

In Kosovo, the more dreadful the experience of giving birth, the more heroic the mother. But we should stop normalizing traumatic experiences. Instead we must demand better treatment.

Women: Kosovo’s powerless reproductive force

Despite abortion being legal up to the tenth week of pregnancy, girls and women do not have access to sexual education, barely use modern methods of contraception, and are mistreated in gynecology departments. Progress towards sexual and reproductive health will only be noticed once we will be able to talk openly and freely about women’s options and our power to control our own bodies.
