Description
On 19th of June 2020, through an installation in Skanderbeg Square in Prishtina with big letters saying “Be my Voice” (in Albanian “Behu zeri im”), The Kosova Rehabilitation Centre for Torture Victims (KRCT) in 2020 marked the International Day for the Elimination of Sexual Violence in Conflict. The activity aimed to raise awareness among the population regarding the plight of survivors of sexual violence during the war in Kosovo. It particularly focused on combating stigma and mobilising institutions to increase support for survivors. Be My Voice is a coalition of NGOs including the KRCT, the Women’s Rights Center, Medica Kosova and Medica Gjakova. The platform aims to represent and advance the rights of survivors of wartime sexual violence in Kosovo.
