(8 years ago)Civil society organisations have requested the dismissal of the development projector and quality at Pristina University, Teuta Pustina-Krasniqi, who in a public statement has appealed to the feminine gender, academic staff and administrative staff not to provoke or dress provocatively. The University of Pristina has not commented on statements [...]
At the University of Pristina they have not commented on its statements, nor have the civil society's request for its dismissal, Koha Ditore writes today.
I appeal not to provoke you, not to wear provocatively, because this is a psychological effect that can greatly negatively affect the circle where that student or student performs exercises, lectures. Despite appearances, however, no sexual harassment is reasoned. I appeal to young girls not to forget that they're part of a very serious institution where exercises and speeches are conducted by professors and assistants, so they should respect the dress code”, said projector Pustina-Krasnici.
Also, it has quoted Article 6, 1.25 of the Order for measures and disciplinary procedures against the academic staff of the UP, which says that harassment of any kind, abusing one's dignity in the way that causes hostility or fear in every person in the workplace, is a serious violation.
A day earlier, Pustina-Krasniqi has issued a clarification to the media, where she said her statement was derived from the context and only part of it was cut off. According to the procurator, the statement mentions not only female but also male gender.
The Centre for Art and Community-Artpolis through a reaction Monday, has said it condemns the sexist language of the UP's procurator, where according to this organisation Pustina-Krasnqi justified sexual harassment within the UPI by blaming students for their manner of dress.
The downloading of Procurator Teuta Pustina-Krasniqi has also requested the Organisation for Growth of Quality at Education (ORCA).
The Student Movement for Equality Research, Critics of Action (SKV) in a reaction to the media has stressed that sexting culture is now being presented in public institutions, including Pristina University. According to the SKV, projector Pustina-Krasniqi has accused women and girls who study or work at the UPI for sexual harassment, calling them the result of their provocative dress.
Sociologist Sbel Halimi says that if an official of an institution like the University of Pristina gives such statements, it poses a real problem indicating the readiness that the UPP has in preventing sexual harassment. According to her, it is paradoxical for a decision-making prosecutor to make such statements.
