The Kosovo Women’s Network expresses its concern about the public promotion of individuals suspected of gender-based violence, as seen last night on Klan Kosova television. What occurred last night on a show on Klan Kosova is unacceptable and contradicts our collective efforts to combat gender-based violence, a pervasive issue that threatens the well-being of women and girls in our society.

Promoting individuals involved in such cases is not only irresponsible but also sends a dangerous message that violence against women can be tolerated or minimized.

We call on the media to take responsibility in reflecting the seriousness of this issue and to be part of the solution, not the problem. Gender-based violence must be condemned without hesitation and combated decisively by everyone in every way possible – for a fairer and safer society for all.
