  • Honor Crimes of Women in Albanian Society Boundary Discourses On
    HONOR CRIMES OF WOMEN IN ALBANIAN SOCIETY BOUNDARY DISCOURSES ON “VIOLENT” CULTURE AND TRADITIONS By Armela Xhaho Submitted to Central European University Department of Gender Studies In partial fulfillment for the degree of Master of Arts in Gender Studies Supervisor: Professor Andrea Krizsan Second Reader: Professor Eva Fodor CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2011 Abstract In this thesis, I explore perceptions of two generations of men on the phenomenon of honor crimes of women in Albanian society, by analyzing in particular discourses on cultural and regional boundaries in terms of factors that perpetuate crimes in the name of honor. I draw on the findings from 24 in depth interviews, respectively 17 interviews with two generations of men who have migrated from remote villages of northern and southern Albania into periphery areas of Tirana and 7 interviews with representatives of key institutional authorities working in the respective communities. The conclusions reached in this study based on the perceptions of two generations of men in Albania suggest that, the ongoing regional discourses on honor crimes of women in Albanian society are still articulated by the majority of informants in terms of “violent” and “backward” cultural traditions, by exonerating the perpetrators and blaming the northern culture for perpetuating such crimes. However, I argue that the narrow construction on cultural understanding of honor crimes of women fails to acknowledge the gendered aspect of violence against women as a universal problem of women’s human rights across different cultures. CEU eTD Collection i Acknowledgements First of all, I would like to acknowledge my supervisor Professor Andrea Krizsan for all her advices and helpful comments during the whole period of thesis writing.

  • National Report on the Follow-Up to the Regional Implementation
    National Report on the Follow-Up to the Regional Implementation Strategy (RIS) of the Madrid International Plan of Action on Ageing (MIPAA) in Albania during the period 2012-16 Executive summary Approximately 500 to 700 words (1-1.5 A4 pages, single-spaced). Please provide an executive summary according to the structure below: Methods used for this report; in particular, details of the bottom-up participatory approach used, if any Brief review of national progress in fulfilling (or lagging behind) the commitments of MIPAA/RIS. Include three to five major achievements since 2012 and three to five important aspects to be improved in the future Conclusion. This is the second report of Albania on regard of Madrid Plan on Ageing. For the first time, it is assured a high degree of participation from diverse sources and actors. Besides, using a number of reports, studies and analyses on ageing, produced since 2012 more than 20 stakeholders were invited to contribute with their information and experiences about progress and challenges during implementation of MIPAA/RIS. The instrument for stakeholders prepared by UNECE secretariat was translated into Albanian and discussed in two meetings with all relevant actors; one meeting dedicated to ministries and other state institutions and the other to non-governmental organizations. Albanian population ageing is characterized by relatively late demographic transition and high emigration rate. Albania has been acting in many areas since the Vienna Conference and its government has put ageing issues into its main priorities. A good example of it is the mainstreaming of ageing issues into the principal political document of the country such as strategy for development and integration 2015-2020, as well as, in the new Social Inclusion Policy Document 2016-2020.

    ALBANIA CALLS INDEX ▶ COUNTRY PROFILE ▶ TOP 4 REASONS TO INVEST IN ALBANIA ▶ INVESTMENT AND BUSINESS CLIMATE ▶ MACRO-ECONOMIC INDICATORS Albania has started a new chapter of sustainable and long-term economic development. The Government has designed a new economic model based on deep structural reforms with a specific focus on boosting domestic production, exports and foreign direct investments. Over the last 24 years, Albania has experienced a difficult transition process. During this process, Albania has encountered many successes and hardships. The country’s economic potential has never been fully used. With the EU ambition in mind, the Government of Albania has committed itself to create a new economic model and a more competitive investment climate. The 2014 was the year of deep reforms for Albania. The Government has undertaken structural reforms aiming to reshape the business climate and environment. The new legal framework on tourism, strategic investments, public-private partnership and free economic zones, will ensure productive inputs of economic growth contributing to increase the foreign investment inflow. The Berlin Process marked the beginning of a historical process for the Western Balkan countries, with main focus the connectivity in the Region. A number of important projects in infrastructure are designed. The TAP project is very important for Albania because it will enable the connection of Albania with the natural gas network. Foreign investment is a key factor for the new government, not only because FDIs provide liquidity, employment and development, but especially because they assist raising the performance level of economic sectors. As a result, the Albanian Government is fully committed to be a determined and reliable partner to investors, ready to assist them to overcome all the obstacles to a free and competitive market.

Recognizing the above, in view of its upcoming EU Presidency during the first half of 2008 and its migration agenda therein, the Slovenian government has taken the initiative to request IOM to draft “migration profiles” (as defined by the European Commission) for Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, the Republic of Montenegro, the Republic of Serbia and Turkey.
