The Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor (DRL) champions universal values, including respect for the rule of law, democratic institutions, and human rights. The Bureau’s work helps bolster democratic institutions, confront democratic backsliding, promote accountability, uphold internationally recognized labor standards, and advance the rights and equity of members of marginalized racial, ethnic, and religious communities, indigenous persons, persons with disabilities, and LGBTQI+ persons.
The grant aims to increase protections against gender-based violence for marginalized communities in Kosovo. It encourages organizations to submit applications for projects that address this significant issue by promoting safety, advocacy, and support mechanisms tailored to the needs of those most at risk within Kosovo.
