(a year ago)The director of the Centre for the rehabilitation of Torture Victims in Kosovo, Feride Rushiti, in a public discussion about the work that led to its nomination for Nobel, has said that sexual violence during the war has left profound consequences in Kosovo society. She added that sexual violence is not [...]
She has added that there has been no social record of sexual violence among Kosovo's MPs, just as they were discussing the deaths of the missing.
Sexual violence as weapons of war has a radioactive effect, not only attacks the vertical victim, but it actually attacks the entire family. The post-war pain had a name and no name. As long as it was publicly talked about the dead, the missing, there was no social record of sexual violence, and there was no room to talk about it. Of course, MPs have been part of this society, and we have had to work long with them. In 2013-2014 we couldn't talk to parliament as we speak today”, she said.
Rushiti in this discussion spoke of the 2014 parliamentary session, where the law under which victims of sexual rape during the war would be recognized as legal and respectful.
She, according to the online economy, said that at this session the language some MPs have used has been a discriminating and hate speech.
” It has been painful to discredit language, a hate language, a language of infidelity for the way this wound is cracked that reflects the total social mass. Then they verified through the gynecologist, then discussed the number and so forth. But all this discourse that prevailed in Parliament has served us to work even harder. One moment I'm saying we stopped the television because we couldn't afford it. It's some kind of psychological violation that's done when society doesn't recognize the wound”, she said.
