Verification of sexual violence victims, not started yet (Zëri)
The paper reports that the government commission in charge to verify the victims of sexual violence has not been established yet. This commission was supposed to start functioning as of November last year. However, the application deadline for members of this commission has been officially closed on Thursday. The government commission to verify the victims of sexual violence will have nine members composed of four independent members and five others from government institutions. The formation of this commission is under the responsibility of the Ministry of Labour and Social Welfare. While the Kosovo institutions have delayed the establishment of such commission, non-governmental organizations have begun to speak with victims of sexual violence to convince them to come forward and receive financial support from the Kosovo institutions.
