5 minutes agoE ENVIOUS: Violence in Kosovo Post - Coronact families mounts to frightening proportions
Periskopi(6 years ago)
(6 years ago)A month ago, on March 13th, the first two cases confirmed by Coronavirus were recorded in Kosovo, and the Government decided on closing a host of services. Since then, calls to stay home have become daily and even temporary. It turns out, however, that even the home is not a safe environment. [...]
Domestic violence is a huge problem of Kosovo society, which primarily suffers women from men, and children from men and women together.
The OSCE Mission in Kosovo has recently compared cases reported for the period March 2019 and for the month it ended, March 2020.
According to them, the number of reported violence cases in Kosovo families has increased by 36 percent during this period in which everyone is asked to remain housebound, says Periscope.
“Cavid-19 is affecting all of us, in different ways. But isolation is especially difficult for victims of domestic violence; they share home with the abuser! If you are one of them, ask for help” OSCE's yesterday response.
But if we observe it carefully, we see that O's mission The SB makes the identity of victims as women, and abusers as men in the following response. In fact, although abusers and victims - at least in formal responses - would have to be left with neutral genders.
Many women, too, are not only victims but also abusers in their families. /Periscope
