As we all know, domestic violence is not something innate or unique to Albania. It is considered an old wound of society, often still unhealed, which has resisted the development that society has made throughout the world, not leaving behind the democratic development of Albanian society. In this unwanted reality, it is inevitable that every day marks another victim—a woman, mother, wife, or sister!
Beyond the numerous questions that never receive answers about other family members, the arrest and corresponding punishment of the perpetrator, in Albanian society, it is preferred to provide ideas, factual circumstances conveyed accurately or not, and an in-depth biography of the victim or perpetrator.
It is said that Mahatma Gandhi once stated, “The roots of violence are: wealth without work, pleasure without conscience, knowledge without character, business without morality, science without humanity, worship without sacrifice, and politics without principles.”
In this sense, the causes that bring violence are numerous. The ongoing fight against this phenomenon is important. Supporting women, strengthening their position in society, strongly activating their role, including them in decision-making, and making them key factors for the development of the country should be a priority for every current and future government.
Albania today has made significant progress in adopting relevant laws for the treatment of cases of domestic violence, by-laws, and referral mechanisms, with the aim of isolating and minimizing cases of domestic violence.
