A three-week long public campaign to combat domestic violence and an anti-trafficking help line will follow and include TV and radio spots as well as leaflets in Albanian and Serbian. An artistic performance on domestic violence, women as peacemakers and gender equality will also be performed for the secondary school children in Prishtinë/Priština.
