The Public Pulse on Gender report provides a concise overview of people’s perception on gender issues from political, economic, educational, social, and security perspectives. Public Pulse on Gender is part of the joint “Enhancing Women’s Participation in Peace-building and Post-conflict Planning” project conducted in collaboration with the EU and UN Women.

The purposes of the study are twofold.  First, the study will survey Kosovans’ perceptions concerning women’s leadership skills and positions by collecting and analysing the various factors contributing to these perceptions.  Secondly, the study measures women’s participation in both social and political activities, and analyses the factors that impact women’s participation levels. The results are derived from an opinion poll sample that surveyed 1290 citizens of Kosovo over 18 years of age, of both sexes and from all municipalities of Kosovo, covering both rural and urban areas. The sample included 598 men, and 691 women.
