UN Women launches report on sexual violence victims (Zeri)
The UN Women in Kosovo on Wednesday launched the project “Conflict brought no flowers” dedicated to survivors of sexual violence during the war in Kosovo. The project aims at making the voices of the victims of sexual violence be heard and give recommendations to relevant institutions on helping these victims. Flora Macula, chief of the UN Women in Kosovo said this project has been drafted after months of work, and includes consultations with the women who are survivors of sexual violence during the war. Macula said she hopes that recommendations deriving from this project will be taken into account by relevant institutions. Thomas Gnocchi from the EU Office in Kosovo said that Kosovo needs to do more because its legal framework is not being properly implemented. He said that survivors of sexual violence continue facing enormous challenges in all aspects of life.
