The activity was attended by the representatives of Prosecution, social services-department for domestic violence, protector of citizens at the Prosecutor's office as well as representatives of Free Legal Aid. Citizens were given flyers on how to use Free Legal Aid.

This one-day activity will be continued in other municipalities in Kosovo with the aim to increase citizens’ awareness of the importance of prevention and action against domestic and gender-based violence with an overarching goal to protect women as the most vulnerable group.

The project is implemented by the Center for Legal Aid and Regional Development CLARD, in cooperation with Kosovo Law Institute and NGO Advocacy Center for Democratic Culture ACDC.
