Despite decades of migration from Kosovo to Slovenia, women's experiences remain overlooked and understudied, while in public discourse they are often portrayed as passive subjects, their voices rarely heard.
This master's thesis foregrounds the personal stories of Albanian women from Kosovo living in Slovenia, focusing on their challenges in entering the labour market, education system and new cultural environment, learning the Slovenian language, maintaining their identity, and navigating discrimination and inequality. Through the lens of intersectionality and social pedagogical approaches, the thesis reveals how gender, ethnicity, language and social status intertwine and compound vulnerability.
The empirical part is based on a narrative approach using semi-structured interviews with seven immigrant women from Kosovo, analysed through coding and interpretation. The aim was not only to understand their position, but to open space for dialogue, amplify their voices and contribute to the development of supportive approaches grounded in their actual lived experiences.
