The report for this marked day was presented by Prof. Dr. Fatmira Lumani. She said that March 8 – International Women’s Day is a glorious day that reminds us of women’s struggle for their freedoms and rights: civil, political, economic and social. “It is a day that reminds us of one of the longest wars in the history of humanity around the world that women have fought, a war that is not over yet. March 8 is the day when we recall the bloody battles full of sacrifices at the global level, so as not to forget their cause that continues to be passed down from generation to generation even today, until the freedoms and rights of women are fully realized. At the same time, we thank these heroines and brave women, who are an example and a motivation to continue the fight to achieve justice and equality between women and men”, emphasized Professor Fatmire Lumani.
