Participants in a debate organised yesterday by NGOs “Syri i Vizionit” and “Save the Children” concluded that relevant institutions in Kosovo have not done enough in protecting children from violence. Kosovo Ombudsperson Hilmi Jashari commended the efforts of the civil society on the issue and also called on government institutions to get more involved and incorporate recommendations from the civil society into their action plans. The panelists stressed the need for passing a law for protection of children which would sanction physical punishment of children everywhere, not just in schools.
