(5 years ago)Justice Minister Albulen Haxhiu says the situation in the country is alarming in terms of domestic violence. She adds that the culprits must receive the due punishment, as domestic violence is alarming. [...]
We are unfortunately dominated by the patriarchal mentality where domestic violence tends to hide as something private or remain isolated”, Haxhi said.
Haxhiu also commented on the murder of 18-year-old in Ferizaj.
“According to this serious case, I first wish that justice institutions find the prime suspect in order to get the same sentence deserved”, she stressed at RTV Dukagujini.
But does the state have a government strategy to prevent violence and the murder of women.
The justice ministry currently operates on the database of domestic violence, and the situation is alarming that it requires serious action by all institutions. As MD we think the current legislation is sufficient to address domestic violence. It must be implemented by justice institutions”, she stressed.
“We have the working group for the strategy against domestic violence, and we have also started completing the law on legal assistance for victims of domestic violence. We've also launched a seditious campaign. There are some concrete actions we have undertaken, but I consider they are insufficient because we need institutional co-ordination and social co-ordination to combat this negative” phenomenon, Haxhiu stressed.
