According to sociologist Flalle Ymer, to prevent violent acts in Kosovo society requires empowering women to denounce violators in time, and, according to her, increased punishments are needed.
“Emancipation of women and their education give them an added value in society and families in order to be treated differently, but here the opportunity should be given from the circle where they live so that their authority will be at the right level. Of course, the prevention of cases is done through their reporting, but we have often faced cases that have been reported in a row, but not the right steps taken by authorities”, Yemer sociologist said.
Based on general statistics by the Kosovo Police, some 1,500 cases of domestic violence have been reported in the first six months of this year, and in about 1,200 of them women are victims.
From 2010 to April 2024, 57 women have been killed in Kosovo. In most cases, there were partners, then fathers and boys.
