On the occasion of the 17th anniversary of Kosovo’s Independence, the Municipality of Prishtina launched the project “Women of the KLA Tell Their Stories” at Reporting House. This project documents the role of women from the Prishtina region in the Kosovo Liberation Army’s (KLA) struggle for freedom.
The Municipality of Prishtina, through mayor’s advisor Jonada Jashari, who served as researcher and director, conducted video interviews with women veterans, bringing forward testimonies based on their memories.
These interviews are exhibited at Reporting House and are accessible to anyone interested in learning more about the role of women in the KLA’s fight for freedom, through the authentic stories of Zymrie Vitia, Ramize Abdullahu Salihu, Ibadete Canolli, Hyrie Veliu, and Emine Brahimi.
The project aims to open a broader discussion on the experiences of women during the war and their important contribution to Kosovo’s modern history.
