Women in the Albanian resistance 1945-1947

Abstract

As part of the nation, women too experienced national deception against ideological one. The women of Kosova began showing their disappointment with the newly-created political situation in various forms. Thus, in Gjakova and Vushtrri, women’s protests were organized - the first against the government - where women expressed their revolt against mobilization. This form of organization was a response to the deception and disappointment of the promises made during the war for a just solution to the national issue. Therefore, a great number of women supportive of Antifascist Movement war who had contributed to the victory of the new government were now rising against it. This shows that the source of these demonstrations came from motherly instinct that knows no system or ideology when they are convinced that their children are being misused to serve a diabolical policy.
