Abstract

Albania has undertaken important national and international legal commitments to combat discrimination and to promote and make gender equality a reality. In this context, governmental structures, in cooperation with civil society and international organizations, have particularly worked towards improving gender sensitive legislation and policies, building and strengthening structures in support of gender equality and preventing and fighting violence against women and domestic violence. Albanian governments through years have drafted several strategies that sustain and protect women's rights, with the support of several international organizations and various NGOs. Personal rights and freedoms recognized in the context of human rights include a wide range of rights. Analyzing such rights in general terms is a broad-spectrum issue, so in this paper we will only deal with some of them.
