and ariana lucka from albania married in
2010
and had two children facing economic
duress
they began arguing mr lecka made violent
threats
after those erupted in violent actions
mrs lucka reported him to the police
the court issued an immediate protection
order for mrs lucka
for 12 months less than one month later
mr lucka killed his wife how did this
happen
how did the system fail mrs lucka
because the police
never received the protection order and
were not there to protect her
because the social services office did
not receive the order
and did not follow up because no one
notified the local coordinator
against domestic violence institutions
that should have protected mrs lecka
failed to coordinate and communicate on
her case
they failed to follow legal procedures
for domestic violence
how can we prevent tragedies like this
ensure a better coordination among
institutions to protect survivors
make it compulsory training for police
officers to assess risks
require mandatory training for judges
and prosecutors on laws to protect
against domestic
violence establish emergency teams of
specialists
to evaluate and manage risks guarantee
obligatory and timely outreach to
survivors
on case status
[Music]
the six children of mirella kushta and
aryan kushta from albania
witnessed their drunk father repeatedly
abusing them
and their mother after the children
called the police
all family members were immediately
escorted to the police station
but mrs kushta and her children refused
to report mr kushta for
domestic violence or request a
protection order
mr kushta was detained for a few hours
six months later he killed his wife
how did this happen how did the system
fail mrs
kusta because the police did not assess
the risks
despite evidence of psychological
violence and alcohol abuse
because the police did not continuously
monitor the case
because the case was not reported to the
referral mechanism
to help survivors get support because
the survivors of violence
under the threat did not report it
because the police
without a report could not file a case
how can we prevent tragedies like this
require
mandatory training for police on
assessing and managing risks
amend the criminal code to criminalize
psychological violence
establishing emergency teams of field
specialists to evaluate and manage risks
ensure a better coordination and
communication among institutions
providing protection from violence
annis became psychologically and
physically violent with his wife
indira as soon as they married after a
year of
insults blackmail and constant attempts
to control her behavior
indira initiated a divorce anas
begged indira to come back he promised
he would change
indira became pregnant but the
harassment and violence
persisted afraid for their child andera
reported the abuse
for years aness used child custody
visits to hurt andera
the stress psychologically harmed their
daughter
how did this happen how did the system
fail indira
because social workers assigned to the
case rarely attended child custody
visits
because nothing was done about repeated
violence in front of the child
despite video evidence because the
center for social work
showed bias and prejudice towards indira
because civil and criminal procedures
took an unreasonably long time
because the courts prioritized anes's
right to see his daughter
over protecting her and indira how can
we prevent
tragedies like this ensure timely and
coordinated actions by social workers
the police and the judiciary provide
gender sensitive training for social
workers
to prevent harmful biases require
mandatory
training for judges and prosecutors on
laws against domestic violence
take into account all circumstances in a
case
such as repeated violence in front of a
child
[Music]
one afternoon alina returned home to
find a stack of firewood outside her
door
a gift from her former partner when she
lit a fire a few days later
the wood exploded her former partner had
hidden an
m52 hand grenade inside alina survived
but with devastating physical and
psychological injuries
she was forced to take out a loan to
cover her medical costs
since she received no compensation from
the perpetrator
and didn't qualify for free legal aid
despite a below average salary
the perpetrator was convicted but since
his eight-year sentence was postponed
nearly every day he drives by the bus
station where alina waits
staring at her from his car how did this
happen
how did the system fail alina because
she was never informed that she could
file for compensation from the
perpetrator
because lawyers were not knowledgeable
about best practices for cases of
violence against women
because protective measures were not
taken to stop the perpetrator from
harassing
alina because the state does not offer
integrated services
shielding victims from financial
hardship
how can we prevent tragedies like this
develop individual plans for protection
and support for every woman survivor
secure adequate and continuous financing
for integrated services
for victims at low or no cost require
mandatory training on responding to
violence against women
for everyone in the system of protection
amend laws to make quality
specialized support services and free
legal aid
available to all women survivors
