“Judges and prosecutors still face difficulties in strengthening their role and increasing in number. Judges and prosecutors are the voice of truth, the voice of justice, the voice of the rule of law and the mind that provides citizens with the assurance that no one is above the law by strongly defending that principle” said Minister Dhurata Hoxha.

Minister Hoxha noted that she has started a series of initiatives to advance and harmonize the legislation that helps empower women in general, and that although with limited competencies, she is committed to facilitate the work of the judiciary and prosecution as key pillars for building a legal and democratic state. 

“Despite the challenges, you are not only offering citizens assurance and trust in justice, but you are also giving every woman hope that gender is not and should never be an obstacle to a woman's success, especially in administering justice” said the Minister.
The implementation of the Law on Crime Victim Compensation has already started, said Minister Hoxha, adding that this initiative will enable victims of crime seek compensation which would give at least satisfaction to the victims despite the damages caused.
Moreover, Minister Hoxha said that the Strategy on Property Rights has been drafted, focusing on addressing the existing challenges for the implementation of women's property rights. 
“I strongly believe that the implementation of women's property rights is a prerequisite for their empowerment. In addition, the Strategy against Domestic Violence has been drafted” said Minister Hoxha, noting that where there is no empowerment of women, there can be no equal society.

Women judges and prosecutors in Kosovo, as well as women in other decision-making positions, said Minister Dhurata Hoxha, should be able carry out their duties free from any gender-based prejudice.

“In order to achieve this, we must focus also on the social aspect, and work on raising awareness in society and empowering women not only through legal mechanisms, but also making it a mission and an objective of every citizen of the Republic of Kosovo. All this work is inevitable in building values that would contribute to society not only today but also in the future”, said Minister Hoxha.
