Family violence has been denounced mostly during August. 200 such cases were reported only this month.

During the 11th month of 2020, there are 3434 cases of domestic violence.

Kosovo police in the statement for “Zen” emphasises that the number of cases of domestic violence has increased annually.

The number of domestic violence increased markedly in the previous year. Only 3434 cases were reported in 11 months. The month after August of the following had mostly marked cases of violence with over 200 reports. Compared to 2019, with 1915 reported cases, in 2020 it increased by over two thousand cases of violence”, the police statement said.

In 2017, 1269 cases of domestic violence were reported, since in 2018 their numbers had increased markedly by 1541 reported cases.

For cases of domestic violence, it should be remembered that reports of domestic violence have come from year to year (2017=1269 cases, 2018=1541 cases, 2019=1915 cases). Police in various forms have repeatedly appealed that these cases be reported”, have been posted for police.

Police say their continued commitment has reflected in the area of prevention of violence and social vulnerability.

The “Massat and the continued commitment of the Kosovo Police with other institutional mechanisms in preventing the phenomenon of family violence elements reflects the proactive approach in the area of prevention and stabilisation of society”, the Office for Information statement says.

While Kosovo sociologist Genc Xerxa has stressed that the pandemic has influenced the number of these cases to increase because a considerable number of people have lost their jobs, as well as have no income.

“Pandemia affects that we have a considerable number of individuals who have lost their jobs, do not receive regular income, this inevitably creates a disturbing situation in relation to the individual or family obligations in meeting the real requirements for existence. In the inability of their realisation and the hopeless atmosphere in the family create preconditions then even for the display of violence where psychological sense is distorted, and day's reasonableness begins to lack much and”, he said.

He emphasises that a small conflict in the family is enough, and immediately fights or violence arise, where in some cases it also takes an uncontrolled form and can lead to even more radical actions.

Only a small conflicted family match is needed and immediately fights or violence comes to the surface where in some cases it takes uncontrolled shape and can lead to radical actions as we see it happening to us, in the killing of family members or even to suicides in the impossible to deal with just the problems that arise during life, where you lose the self - control and psychological sense between family and individuals in some social report!
