🎨 Paint Your Story | Istog

“To sustain our commitment to others, we must also nurture our connection with ourselves.”

What a meaningful weekend in Istog, where creativity, mindfulness, and psychological well-being came together through art.

As activists and advocates, we dedicate much of our emotional and psychological energy to supporting communities, promoting human rights, and fostering social change.

Yet, sustained engagement requires emotional awareness, psychological resilience, and intentional self-reflection.

Through Dot by Dot – Paint Your Story, we explored artistic expression as a pathway to emotional processing, self-awareness, and psychological well-being.

Art created space to reflect, reconnect with ourselves, and strengthen the emotional resources that support our continued engagement.

Because caring for our own psychological well-being is essential to sustaining our capacity to care, advocate, and create meaningful change. 🎨

🎨 “Kreativiteti është një formë e komunikimit emocional. Aty ku fjalët nuk arrijnë të shprehin përjetimet tona, ngjyrat dhe format krijojnë hapësirë për vetënjohje, reflektim dhe transformim psikologjik.”

10 Tetor – Dita Botërore e Shëndetit Mendor
Në Istog, gra artiste dhe aktiviste u bashkuan për dy ditë në një përvojë krijuese, ku arti u ndërthur me psikologjinë, vetëdijen emocionale dhe mirëqenien mendore.

Përmes shprehjes artistike, simbolikës dhe komunikimit joverbal, pjesëmarrëset eksploruan kreativitetin si një mjet për vetëreflektim, përpunim emocional dhe fuqizim psikologjik.

Çdo telajo u bë hapësirë e shprehjes individuale, ndërsa procesi krijues nxiti ndërgjegjësimin emocional, ndjenjën e përkatësisë dhe lidhjen njerëzore.

🌿 Sepse arti nuk kërkon përsosmëri. Ai krijon hapësirë për autenticitet, pranim dhe shprehje të lirë.

Koncepti i ideuar nga Psikologja Visare Berisha Dot by Dot – Paint Your Story realizohet me mbështetjen e Bashkimit Evropian dhe NGO Casa. Keto aktivitete janë realizuar në bashkëpunim me QDG-Qendra për të Drejtat e Grave "Forca e Gruas" sesionet e pikturave janë udhëhequr nga artistja dhe humanistja Aferdita Selimaj.

🇽🇰 KOSOVO ELECTS ITS THIRD WOMAN PRESIDENT – A MILESTONE FOR WOMEN'S LEADERSHIP AND DEMOCRACY!

Congratulations to H.E. Prof. Dr. Justina Shiroka P**a, the newly elected President of the Republic of Kosovo!

Since declaring independence on 17 February 2008, the Republic of Kosovo has continued its journey of democratic institution-building, equality, and women's political representation.
Today, Kosovo marks another significant milestone: the election of its third woman President, following Atifete Jahjaga and Vjosa Osmani-Sadriu.

For a young republic born from the struggle for freedom, having three women serve as Head of State is an important achievement and a powerful message about women's leadership and participation in democratic governance.

At ASSIST Kosovo Center, we believe that women's leadership is essential to building inclusive, resilient, and democratic societies.
President Shiroka P**a's election also demonstrates the importance of political dialogue, institutional responsibility, and democratic compromise in overcoming political challenges.
During the transition, the duty was taken over by Acting President Albulena Haxhiu.

We extend our sincere congratulations and wish President Shiroka P**a success in serving all citizens, strengthening democratic institutions, promoting gender equality, and advancing Kosovo's international standing.
A stronger democracy is one where women do not simply participate in shaping the future, they lead it.

ASSIST Kosovo Center
For a Democratic and Prosperous Society

💗 Nga Istogu rozë – Bashkë për Vetëdijesim dhe Parandalim

Sot, Istogu u vesh me rozë. 🎀
QDG-Qendra për të Drejtat e Grave "Forca e Gruas" hapi fushatën e Tetorit Rozë me një instalacion simbolik, duke sjellë në qendër një mesazh që duhet të dëgjohet çdo ditë: vetëdijesimi, kontrollet e hershme dhe kujdesi për shëndetin mund të shpëtojnë jetë.

Nën udhëheqjen e drejtoreshës Ajmane Osmanaj Metaj, gra, qytetarë dhe mbështetës u bashkuan rreth një thirrjeje të përbashkët: të flasim më shumë, të kontrollohemi me kohë dhe të kujdesemi për njëra-tjetrën.

Sepse rozë nuk është vetëm një ngjyrë.
Është kujtesë.
Është solidaritet.
Është forcë.
Është një thirrje që asnjë grua të mos mbetet vetëm. 💗

Nga Istogu, mesazhi sot është i thjeshtë, por jetik:
Kujdesu për veten. Kontrollohu me kohë. Dhe kujtoja edhe një gruaje tjetër ta bëjë të njëjtën gjë. 🎀

Today, our team VITA joined in the heart of Prishtina. 🎀🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️💗

We race because awareness matters. 📣
We race because information saves lives. 📚💡
We race because prevention, early detection, treatment, and support make a difference. 🩺🎗️

Most importantly, we race to motivate people to take action, to get informed, to get checked, to support one another, and to never underestimate the power of a strong community. 💪🤝🌸

Today we stood together with cancer survivors, families, professionals, supporters, and citizens with one clear message: 🎀✨

More awareness. 📣
More knowledge. 💡
More action. 💪
More hope. 💗

Together, we move forward. Together, we are stronger. 🌷🎗️🤝

Standing Against Femicide: From Public Condemnation to Institutional Responsibility
Today, the ASSIST Kosovo Center team, together with representatives of the Women's Democracy Network – Europe & Eurasia, joined the public protest against femicide and gender-based violence.
Femicide must be understood not as an isolated or private act of violence, but as the most extreme manifestation of gender-based violence, rooted in broader patterns of inequality, coercive control, discrimination, and institutional failure to prevent and respond effectively to violence against women.
Our participation reflects a clear commitment to advancing human security, women’s rights, institutional accountability, effective prevention, and access to justice. Protecting the lives of women and girls requires more than condemnation after a killing occurs; it requires coordinated institutional action, early intervention, effective risk assessment, survivor-centred protection mechanisms, and sustained investment in prevention.
From law to action means ensuring that rights and legal protections are translated into safety in women’s everyday lives.
We stand in solidarity with the victims, their families, and all those demanding a society in which women can live free from violence and fear.

From Law to Action: Turning Commitments into Effective Protection

Today, ASSIST Kosovo Center and NVO Zensko pravo convened representatives of institutions, civil society, women’s organizations, law enforcement, the judiciary, the media, and international partners to discuss ways to strengthen prevention, protection, coordination, and accountability in addressing gender-based violence in Kosovo.

Building on the regional discussions held in North Mitrovica and Gračanica/Graçanicë, today’s concluding roundtable provided a platform for constructive dialogue, shared responsibility, and the development of concrete recommendations to enhance institutional and community-based responses.

Laws alone are not sufficient.
Sustainable change requires translating legal commitments into effective action.

We extend our sincere appreciation to all speakers, partners, and participants for their valuable contributions.
