Luljeta Demolli, executive director at the Kosovar Center for Gender Studies, said that the language of hate is coming precisely from the house of democracy, the Parliament.
"Actually, the source of that hate speech, it's very bad that it's coming from the Parliament, from the house of democracy", Demolli said in "Tempus".

Letter to the Reader — Why We're Asking for Your Support ContributeAccording to her, our institutions are not alert to work in a more urgent way in the prevention of language that, in addition to being discriminatory, has also been a sexist language.
"Where from the Parliament, from the Government, by not implementing or disrespecting the laws, by not pushing sensitive policies for different communities, especially women, has it been possible for both MPs and citizens to simply use sexism and discrimination" , said Demolli.
Demolli said that the private sector itself is part of the civil society report on human rights, where it says that it easily discriminates and does not punish sexual harassment.
Therefore, according to her, this political unwillingness has caused many issues to remain unresolved for years.
Among other things, Demolli said that in addition to the increase in the number of reported cases of violence, there is also an increase in the number of these cases.
According to her, one of the reasons why these cases occur is the possession of weapons without permission, but also various issues that the Government of Kosovo does not address.
"I would like to express one more important thing that the Government of Kosovo, the state of Kosovo is not part of the United Nations, and therefore does not report to high international levels such as the United Nations", said Demolli.
Despite this, she said that if we become part of the big world organizations, then for these cases, the state will be obliged to take measures and accelerate the issue of gender equality and be more efficient in the protection of human rights.
"With so little will, somehow when we come out with such reports, with this impatience that our governors have, our ministers so quickly turn it back that it is not true or you are slandering or use a disrespect for our work, it informs us that tomorrow we, as Kosovo, become a member of the United Nations or the Council of Europe or part of international organizations, where such reports will be annual even where they oblige and punish, and we are already punished, even the Progress Report, the state of Kosovo is also under measures from the European Union, also because of the way minorities are being treated in Kosovo," Demolli said.
