59% of victims of sexual violence are 11-16

This campaign aims to raise awareness of potential situations that expose sensitive categories to the risk of being the victim of sexual violence.

Deputy Director of the Institute of Legal Medicine (IML) by EULEX, Tarja Formisto, said efforts should be made to fuel each of us's awareness of sexual violence

This represents the opening of the campaign that was assisted by IML and EULEX, I have two messages for you. The first is that now is the time to invest in new people, now is our time, and the second is now the time to raise public awareness of what is the act and sexual violence, how to react and how to report the story when we become the victim of sexual violence now is the time because young people are now”, she said, Online Economy.

The “should be kept in mind that sexual abuse is not beyond reach and must be taken in for this. Each of us should play the role of protecting children and young people from trauma and pain from being sexually abused to build together a good life for all of”, she added.

Former Kosovo President Atifete Jahjaga said all should be together to increase hope for victims survived by sexual violence.

We're getting together to give hope and drive to sexual survivors, but I'm sorry that we're increasingly seeing that we don't have the voice of survivors who are necessary to hear their voices and demands in debate. Even two years after the war, we still need to talk about their voice and the troubles facing survivors”, she added, EO reports.

Jahjaga said that survivors are still reluctant to talk about the crime they have been committed to, but it takes support of all, including the support of institutions and justice that, according to her, is missing.

The wounds of thousands of women and men raped in war have yet to be healed, carrying upon burdens the terrible crime of violence yet survivors have not made peace with the past for this should be done together for them to talk about their experiences, their truth has tried to close, to be undone by a whole state of Digressive Serbia, along with the survivors must break the silence by allowing each to survive in its history to work more on the institutional, economic justice still lacking, Jah1fax said.

Recognising the failure of survivors to confess should work with the family to raise awareness of the consequences of the problems they face and of the rights they have guaranteed by law”, Jahjaga added.

Institute of Legal Medicine Director Arsim Gerjaliu said the IML is not the ultimate answer, but it takes the help of the victims to present the violence once it happens because biological evidence does not last long in the body.

The half of the job is the crime scene, there are many mistakes that we need to be together and build operational standards, not be late with biological evidence that won't let us wait because they stay very short in the human body and help from institutions and those most punished”, Gerjaliu said.

The most endangered age “is from 11-16 years old who are children and do not have knowledge, but have submitted to pressure threatening”, he said.

Their awareness that as soon as the notice of the case is made and jointly improves the conditions and awareness of the persons for this act to be announced”, Gerjaliu added.

forensics specialist Bergita Curri made the presentation of the project “

She said the most vulnerable group of sexual violence is female gender.

“59% of victims are 11-16 years old, unfortunately there are victims of sexual violence that are too small to have by 0-10, when you see other countries' statistics very rarely see these age groups”, Curri said.

The “due to all the victims who come to us only 28% have received samples and therefore there are few cases of bias because if there is no biological evidence it is difficult to prove the bully”, she said.

We think that through this campaign we meet that at least personally a certain number of young people who might be unfortunately sexual victims in the future and show them that they are heroes who report and are not our shame, it is not shameful to be violated but shameful to rape someone”, she added.

Finally, sexual violence was presented to illustrate the problem of biological evidence.
