 | | Kosovo women were active participants in the more than 10 years of nonviolent opposition to Serbian repression, whereby ethnic Albanians were discriminated against and disenfranchised from public institutions in Milosevic's quest to build a greater, ethnically-pure Serbia out of the ruins of communist Yugoslavia. |
 | | The Kosovo Women's Initiative (KWI) was established in July 1999 in the wake of a peace agreement that included provision for the withdrawal of all Serb forces from Kosovo and the safe and free return of all refugees and displaced people. |
 | | UNIFEM’s Kosovo project was initiated in 1999 in the context of the immediate post-conflict crisis when Kosovo women were facing a range of challenges, including as refugees or internally displaced, as survivors of violence, or as war widows who became single heads of households. |
