Part of this event was Nobel Peace Prize laureate 2018 Dr. Denis Mukwege.
Mukwege from Congo said he has long waited to come to Kosovo and meet closely with victims of sexual torture.

”20 years after the war in Kosovo no case has been convicted and this is a negative message to victims of sexual violence. We all have to support those who suffer in their bodies. Justice has not only the role of punishment, but has the role of not repeating things and intervening the recovery of victims”.
