Open date: 20 May 2025

Tittle: Communication expert to prepare a PR Plan

Location: Tirana

Background

Politics in Albania is still largely dominated by male-run party structures that are resistant to change. It’s not uncommon for women in politics to be judged more harshly than men, targeted with sexist remarks, or overlooked altogether. In addition, many women simply don’t have the same economic or institutional support as their male counterparts. Campaigning takes money, time, and networks — and women, especially those juggling family responsibilities, often find themselves at a disadvantage. The media doesn’t always help either. Another risk which came within the new electoral system with closed and opened lists of candidates puts into question the rule of quotas.
