Germany’s embassy in Pristina has expressed deep grief over the tragic murder of Arlinda Zekiaj in Vitomirica, Pec, calling for strengthening institutional efforts in preventing violence against women.
Through a reaction, the embassy has stressed that each woman has the right to live free from fear and violence, while underlining the need for mutual commitment and concrete action to guarantee that right.
Every woman has the right to live free from fear and violence, and this right should be guaranteed through mutual commitment and concrete action.
Expressing condolences to Arlinda Zekiaj’s family and loved ones, the embassy has stressed that women in distress should be offered security and protection.
In response, the embassy has estimated that this tragedy turns to childicide as a serious social problem, requiring constant and coordinated response.
This painful tragedy serves as a strong reminder that childicide is not an isolated case but remains a serious social challenge, such as the most extreme manifestation of violence against women, requiring a constant and coordinated response. Ensuring the security and protection of women at risk should remain a common priority, supported by effective preventive measures, timely institutional actions and immediate support services.
The embassy has also recalled that Kosovo is a party to the Council of Europe Convention for preventing and fighting violence against women and domestic violence.
In the end, it has called on all relevant acts to intensify efforts to prevent gender-based violence and implement defence mechanisms.
We call on all relevant acts to continue strengthening efforts to prevent gender-based violence, implement existing defence mechanisms, and cultivate a culture in which violence is neither tolerated nor ignored.
The signal where the truth speaks before the news!
