This project aims to empower youth as drivers of gender equality, development and positive peace through consolidating and supporting youth-led innovative and transformational development responses to the impact of gender norms and stereotypes, especially in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. The purpose of this study (survey and focus groups) is to map the challenges posed by gender norms and stereotypes on youth from the perspective of human security, gender equality and socio-economic development. This research will map the insights of young people in Kosovo, aged between 15 and 29, through a youth-led, inclusive investigation of their perspectives, outside the normal framing of previous youth studies/surveys. For the purpose of this study, Riinvest will be conducted a survey with 1065 respondents in all the municipalities in Kosovo, will be organizing seven focus groups, and will produce an analytic research report.
