“Qika” reacts to the Court in Gjilan: Rape is not sexual adventure, dealing with judges

The court had named the victim a bad habit.

While, from “-Qika” through a reaction have called on the Kosovo Judiciary Council to immediately take disciplinary measures against judges in the court of this case.

From this centre they have said this is not the first time that victims of sexual rape are prejudiced by institutions where they seek justice.

The “juha used in court decisions is no coincidence. It is well represented by gender oppression and the discrimination that is burdening on women, which is being maintained by domestic institutions”, is said to be further in response.

Full response:

<x0) These are just a few of the expressions used by the Constitutional Court in Gjilan in the sexist act that acquitted five men accused of gang rape of a 19-year-old girl in 2012.

Research by “Justice Vow” found that the victim, at the first opportunity to escape, denounced five people for systematic rape to the police.

The court's reasoning on this decision is extremely biased on the basis of gender and non-professional. The court reasons the accused for the rape, saying the girl had agreed to travel by taxi with the accused even though he was male. So for the court, the fact that a girl rides in a taxi with a man implies her consent to sexual relations and the right of congregator over her body!

The court continues the sexist reasoning by saying that being in a residential space with new people has naturally meant that this damaged has been the reconciliation with them even to be launched into sexual adventure”. To the court, the fact that a woman is situated in a residential space with young men “means” each of them's right over her body. According to the court's reasoning, this right, at the time of the taxi or in the apartment, is passed on to the men there.

QICA reminds the general court and public that physical and sexual integrity implies each and every one's right to make decisions about his body and his sexual life. This is the fundamental human right belonging to the individual under the Kosovo Constitution (Nen 26) so each sexual act should have mutual consent and reconciliation. When someone does not consent to sexual acts, that is rape!

This is not the first time that victims of sexual rape are prejudiced by institutions where they seek justice. The language used in court decisions is no coincidence. It well rids itself of gender oppression and the discrimination that is burdening on women who are being maintained by local institutions.

To QICA is unacceptable, so we ask the Kosovo Judiciary Council to immediately take disciplinary measures against the judges of the court of this case. The S.W.S. sexists have their place in court!
