The taboo on acknowledging violence against women is steadily collapsing in Kosovo – but the battle is not yet won and must continue with added intensity.
“Maybe it was her fault.” “Maybe she spoke with another man on the phone.” “Maybe she did not listen to her husband.” “Maybe she went out too frequently with her friends.” “Maybe…”
These are just some of the horrendous justifications that can be heard in family circles, or on the stairways and in the offices of Kosovo institutions, after violence against a woman occurs.
