Kosovo boosts funding for women’s sports development

Sports

If in many cases they have disagreements, such as on categorization or budget allocation, what unites the Ministry of Sports and the Sports Federations is the goal of advancing girls and women in sports.

When signing the memorandums, the MCYS obliges the federations to dedicate 30 percent of the budget to women and girls, a decision that is being welcomed by the leaders of the federations, CE Report quotes Kosova Press.

Deputy Minister of Sports Daulina Osmani said that this decision is closely linked to the global cause for gender equality.

The Secretary of the Handball Federation, Muhamet Arifi, declares that this federation already has about 48 percent women in the entire community involved in the sport of handball in Kosovo.

But there are those who recommend that the percentage of the federations' budget dedicated to women be much higher. Nazmi Gashi, secretary of the Karate Federation, says that given the great results that girls have achieved in the sport, this budget should be up to 70 percent.

It should be noted that Kosovo has won gold and silver medals, as well as Balkan, European and world championships in sports such as judo, boxing and karate, precisely from girls.
