Kosovo girls and boys celebrate International Day of Sport for Development and Peace

UN Women and the Kosovo Football Federation organized the “Sport for Peace” event, with girls and boys from different communities in Kosovo (under UNSCR 1244), demonstrating how sport serves as a powerful tool to strengthen social ties, and to promote ideals of peace, tolerance, solidarity and understanding by breaking down gender, language and ethnic barriers. This event is organized within the joint United Nations “Empowering Youth for a Peaceful, Prosperous, and Sustainable Future in Kosovo” project on Youth for Peace, supported by the United Nations Peace Building Fund.
