On June 30, 2023, ESE, in collaboration with the Human Rights Advisor to the United Nations Resident Coordinator, Tatjana Temelkoska, organized a forum for practitioners from institutions, the judiciary, and civil organizations from the municipality of Kumanovo. The aim was to discuss possibilities for improving conditions in two priority areas of our work: access to justice for women who have experienced domestic violence and access to primary healthcare for women and other vulnerable groups of citizens. Representatives from the Ministry of Justice, Basic Court, Social Welfare Center, healthcare institutions, and civil organizations from the municipality of Kumanovo participated in the forum. Additionally, the findings obtained from the practitioners regarding the challenges they face, as well as the possibilities for addressing the specific needs of women in these priority areas, will be utilized to complement the perspective of women within the written submission (Shadow Report) for the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) of the United Nations. With this approach, we increase pressure on the state to take substantial measures to improve civil court procedures for protection against domestic violence and resolving related legal issues (temporary protection orders, divorce, custody, child support, compensation for damages, etc.), as well as overcoming barriers in access to primary health care for women, children, Roma, and rural populations.
