Minister of Interior Ervin Hoxha, during his speech held at the "Global Woman Club Diaspora 2025 Wo-Men" event, emphasized that the empowerment of women in the State Police and Administration is no longer just a goal, but according to him, it is a reality that is being built every day. According to him, women today are increasingly present in the structures of order and security, not only as employees, but also in leadership roles.
Hoxha said that they bring perspective, sensitivity and innovative solutions to modern security challenges. Minister Ervin Hoxha in his speech noted that “in this space where the energy of change, equality and women's power are the focus of the conversation.
This approach is no longer rhetoric, but a real commitment to increase their presence and representation even in the ranks of institutions that guarantee public order and security. At this point, representation in politics is a step forward."
"Until a few years ago, security institutions were seen as 'men's work', but over the years, female figures have joined the State Police and the Ministry of Interior, in their ranks and at leadership levels. And for this, I share my full conviction with you that the system becomes more sensitive to the needs of citizens and, why not, guarantees that security policies come more naturally to society. That this is their nature, as mothers, sisters, daughters and wives," Hoxha said.
He further added that the representation of women in the State Police is increasing, gender quotas have been established for new recruitments, a concrete step towards equality of opportunity, while the administration of the Ministry of Interior is composed in the majority of women, including the highest management positions.
The Minister of Interior noted that in a world where crime and security challenges become more sophisticated over time, new and innovative approaches are needed.
"Women bring almost unique perspectives to problem solving, crisis management, and building trust between communities and institutions. They are not asking for privileges in the police or administration – they are asking for equal opportunities to prove their worth, to lead, and to contribute to a safer Albania," Hoxha emphasized.
He called for more support and cooperation between men and women within these institutions, closing with a powerful message: "The power of a woman in uniform is not just to change the system. It is to change the world that that system is tasked with protecting." (A2 Televizion)
