These are primarily protection from discrimination, the children’s rights, combating corruption, trafficking in human beings, violence against women and access to information.

When it comes to awareness raising on necessity of prohibition of all forms of violence, the Institution of the Ombudsman took a series of activities in order to inform the NGOs on its mandate as a central institution for the protection from discrimination and activities taken in this regard.
