Extract:

Recent legal acts such as those entitled “Protection from Discrimination” and “Military Discipline in the Armed Forces of the Republic of Albania” provide for appropriate legal and disciplinary measures in cases of sexual harassment, sexual violence and genderbased violence committed by military personnel in discharging their duties. All military structures under the armed forces and the Ministry of Defence have their own gender equality focal point. There are currently nine focal points altogether: seven women and two men.
