Alarming figure of domestic violence during 2018

Home as a concept, as a place of security, tranquillity, and warmth that each would find.

But for many women in Kosovo, there is no such thing.

In their home, which often does not feel like their own, they experience violence in various ways.

Beatings, psychological torture, and threats follow them for the rest of their lives.

All of this, she experienced in her family but who did not stop even after marriage with her husband's family. In addition to her husband, this persistent victim of violence is also subject to mother - in - law. Beatings and torture began as early as 2010, shortly after he got married. So she was forced to leave her husband's house and go to her shelter. But when she realized that she was pregnant, she became convinced of her husband's return.

But the violence against this victim, which is confessed to KTV, didn't forget the husband even after his return from the shelter. The victim of his violence also became children who remained alive with their father after Mother left home again.

This victim is just one of 1,500 domestic violence cases. According to Kosovo police statistics, the number of victims of violence this year we are leaving reportedly has marked increases. In most of these victims, violence has been consistently exercised but remains isolated within four walls of homes.

In the Kosovo police, say 1120 of these subjects have been sent to the prosecution.

And 400 people have been arrested.

But victims who suffered domestic violence and reported the cases did not find police assistance every time.

Valbona Marki Nocaj had denounced her former husband Peter Noecaj to the police for 16 years having endured the torture that had been inflicted on her. But the police had not protected him. He had been standing behind bars just for a short time. For the follow-up and negligence of the police shortly after the release of the prison committed the double murder of Valbona and his daughter just because she had refused to return to him

After admitting guilt, the Constitutional Court in Noecan Gjakova sentenced him to 24 years in prison for double murder.

Following the plea of defence against this act of judgment committed at the Court of Appeals, the latter will be left to make the indictment strong or bring it down.

Eight cases of domestic violence have ended with murder this year.

This male violence against women sparked opposition and protests from civil society largely organised by women's rights movements and gender equality. /Periscopi
