United Nations in Albania congratulates Albania on the adoption of the new Law on the Prevention and Protection from Violence against Women and Domestic Violence

The United Nations in Albania congratulates Albania on the adoption of the new Law on the Prevention and Protection from Violence against Women and Domestic Violence. The new law strengthens protection for survivors of violence wherever it occurs—at home, in the workplace, in public spaces, and online. When women’s fundamental human rights are protected, all of society benefits.

Through the UN Albania Joint Programme focused on Eliminating Violence Against Women, funded by the Government of Sweden and implemented by UN Women Albania, UNDP in Albania, and UNFPA Albania, the United Nations in Albania will continue to work with partners across the country to keep all women and girls safe from gender-based violence.
