VOA: Increased violence in Albanian families has worsened the mental health of victims

VOA: Increased violence in Albanian families has worsened the mental health of

In Albania, domestic violence worsened during the Covid-19 pandemic. Civil society organizations report a tripling of domestic violence.

Therefore, they ask the state institutions to set up a mechanism for mental health in the service of abused women and children.

Violence in Albanian families, even before the pandemic, was widespread, but last year, NGOs claim, this violence tripled due to insecurity, closure, job losses and general unemployment.

The Together for Life Association, along with 14 other civil society organizations, have sent a set of proposals to the health ministry to change the law on domestic violence.

They call for the establishment of a mental health mechanism and the improvement of the law against domestic violence.

Until now, the law recognizes only the directly abused as abused, leaving aside those who suffer indirect violence.

"Associations and psychologists want to be recognized as violent persons and those who receive indirect violence. "If the father abuses the mother, even the child who receives indirect violence should receive services, especially from a psychological point of view, because they are victims of domestic violence" - says Arlinda Shehu, program manager at the Association "Together for Life".

According to non-governmental organizations, some children who have suffered indirect violence during domestic violence have also attempted suicide.

Psychologists claim that domestic violence is on the rise due to the lack of proper treatment of victims, which in most cases are women, children and the elderly.

Activists claim that the cases specifically reported to the police are many times less than the actual extent of domestic violence, which is admitted by women themselves in anonymous surveys.

“Gratë e dhunuara nuk raportojnë nga frika e burrit, nga mosbesimi tek drejtësia dhe policia, apo nga mendësitë e vjetra të shoqërisë. Por viktimat e dhunës në familje kanë probleme të shëndetit mendor dhe kjo e thellon gjendjen për shoqërinë dhe shtetin. Më shumë se gjysma e grave dhe vajzave 18-74 vjeç në Shqipëri pohojnë se kanë përjetuar të paktën një herë në jetën e tyre një apo më shumë forma të dhunës në familje, por raportimet në polici janë shumë të pakta” - thotë psikologia Alketa Berzani.

Nevojitet pra një mekanizëm në ndihmë të shëndetit mendor, i cili të japë ndihmë të gjithë fëmijëve, edhe pse ata nuk paraqiten për të kërkuar ndihmë, edhe kur gruaja nuk do ta ndjekë problemin e dhunës së burrit nëpër gjykata, kjo familje duhet të marrë mbështetje psikologjike.

Albania has set up a coordinated referral mechanism, a modern form according to EU requirements, a network of institutions implementing law against domestic violence.

Experts say the mechanism needs to be improved and set up in each municipality to protect, treat and rehabilitate victims of violence.

The weight of this problem is so great that the European Union has set it as a motto that "There is no health, no mental health".

While the World Health Organization has estimated that in this decade mental health will be the main source of mortality and morbidity.
