Albania has made important improvements in advancing the normative and policy framework for gender equality in recent years. Yet inequalities still exist, and currently, capacities, processes and procedures for EU-aligned and consistent gender mainstreaming are not in place, adding to the complexity of the EU accession process and posing a significant challenge to absorbing the EU Gender Equality acquis. In parallel, the country faces well-documented challenges in implementing gender equality legislation and policy, including the most recent CEDAW Concluding Observations for Albania (2023). Poverty is reportedly the highest in the Western Balkans, increasingly jeopardizing the livelihoods of a significant share of the population. Women and girls are particularly impacted due to structural discrimination and the intersection of poverty, marginalization, and vulnerability. The economic situation of women residing in rural and disadvantaged areas is further challenged by the impact of climate change.
To address these challenges, UN Women Albania is implementing the second phase of the intervention “EU for Gender Equality” funded by the European Union. The project aims to ensure that Albanian institutions more consistently apply gender responsive governance to strengthen equality and non-discrimination, promote women’s empowerment and human rights in line with the EU Gender Equality acquis.
