Over two thousand applications for recognition of the status of sex violence victim

In contrast, with the Government Commission for Recognition and Verification of the Status of Rapistered Persons during the war, 81 women and men have deposited their stories this year.

So he told members of the Commission for Human Rights, where it was highlighted that this year there are more cases which are handled by the court.

“is almost the same trend of applications. It is good that the deadline has been extended for two years because the applications are continuing. We have 2083 cases approved 1650, 316 denied. 40 cases are pending, 50 are untreated”, the head of the Government Commission for Status Recognition and Verification, Leonora Selmani, stressed.

The chairman of this commission, Duda Balje, requested more information about the emotional treatment of the victims, which she said there are times behind the Commission's remarks about having sought to see the victims of violence.

“99 percent of the victims, that's what's behind the problem, not the criteria. After so many years to prove he's a victim of violence, how he can. They were told to take your shirt off to see the wound, it's ridiculous, 25 years after the war, said Balje.

Vetevendosje Movement MP Fatmire Muharja-Kulcaku asked the Commission not to have the deadline, taking into account the importance of applications.

There won't be any deadline until your application is complete, your responsibility is rather different than your having proof. All of your remarks and suggestions to keep in mind that we do not miss these cases because it is difficult for someone to come out and testify to something that he should forget and not remember for many reasons”, she said.

The MP from the AAK ranks, Albana Bytyqi, asked to know more about the rejected cases, which asked what happened to those cases.

“315 cases, it's 6 times examined. Each case has received the right treatment, especially cases that have requests, because it may happen to avert something from us, but we reevaluate it by reex1>, Selmanaj said.
