From the many ethnic minorities in North Macedonia, this specific one stays barely noticed, while their needs and specific rights are rarely debated in the Parliament or exposed in the public. We had interview with Erol Dalipi whose activism for the rights of the Torbesh ethnic community in the Macedonian society had certain successes and made the community more visible to the public as well.

This episode takes us deep into the patriarchal structure of Kosovo and gives the female perspective to it. Women in the Balkans are often victims of misogyny and sexism and the myth around virginity has a lot to do with it as well.

Fiona is telling her story as an Albanian minority living in Serbia. Lots of challenges and enthusiasm to change the society and make it more accepting of diversities. 

This podcast series was created as part of the project "Balkan Messengers-The Role of Media in Creating Alternative Narratives", which Association for Educational Development EKVALIS is implementing in partnership with Qendra Rinore Ardhmeria Klinë и BalkanIDEA Novi Sad.
