On 10 May 2017, PEN Gender Hub held a training session with The Union of Education, Science and Culture- SBASHK, the branch of Prishtina, regarding gender mainstreaming within the union’s organizational and programmatic level.

The participants discussed women’s representation in local and regional level of SBASHK and the importance of women running for Congress, especially now, since the elections are planned to be held during February 2018.

Luljeta Boshnjaku, the chairwoman of SBASHK in Obiliq, shared her experience of being a woman in a decision-making position. She also explained in detail the election process to the participants and encouraged them to be more active in decision-making processes within SBASHK.
