In the boiling water of violence - Statement by RCC Secretary General Majlinda Bregu
25 November 2024 | STATEMENT
The statement by Majlinda Bregu, RCC Secretary General, highlights the pervasive and evolving nature of violence against women, emphasizing how it is rarely an isolated incident but rather a persistent, systemic issue reinforced by societal norms and modern digital platforms. Using Margaret Atwood's metaphor of gradual harm, it sheds light on alarming global and regional statistics, including the rise of online abuse, particularly in the Balkans, where Albania stands out for its paradoxical trust in social media despite its dangers. The statement calls for collective action to address the root causes of violence and break the cycle that pressures individuals and generations alike.
