Activists in protest for March 8: The justice system has failed

Activists held a protest today for March 8, where they demanded more rights for girls and women.

They say the justice system has failed to protect women from murder, citing the recent case of Dan Hutra killing three women.

" Every day we have an uprising against violence, the women of Berat, Dibra, Durrës, Elbasan, Gjirokastër, Elbasan, Kamza, resist and continue to rise up against violence every day, from the kitchen to the bedroom, on the streets, at school, from home father's to the husband's house.

They are taking our girlfriends from us, even though their murders are reported to the state, the police and the courts. We are tired of living in a society where the rules are not safe, the legal system has failed to protect us, Today we stand in solidarity, turning our eyes to ourselves, each other, the existence of cycles keeps the state on its feet, and the society in movement.

Today, on March 8, we shout our anger in the street in front of every social structure to take concrete actions for the protection of women. We demand justice for the murdered women, revision of the criminal code, more state shelters, free counseling and legal services ," said a girl from the Feminist Collective.

" Justice for Ayo. Her killer roams the streets free. My anger is at the name of all the working women who are enslaved in fashion, my anger is at the name of the disabled women who receive ridiculous financial assistance, who can't even survive who are stuck at home due to lack of infrastructure, my anger is named after lesbian, bisexual savages who are denied legal recognition, the right to love and live with dignity, my anger is named after every girl who grows up with the idea that she is the property of her husband, father and then brother, . Today I am not the only one who is angry, today we are all angry and when we are all together our anger turns into strength ", said Xheni Karaj.
