After 10 years together, Fatima from Kosovo filed to end her relationship with Besim. She took their daughter and started to live with her parents. But Besim began constantly threatening her which triggered Fatima to request an emergency protection order. Three weeks later, Besim killed Fatima in the centre of Pristina. He has never been brought to justice, and his parents were given custody of the child.
Watch this video based on a real-life story to find out where the system failed Fatima and how tragedies like this can be prevented. Violence against women is the symptom, not the virus. The virus is gender inequality. No cure will come as long as ineffective prevention, protection and prosecution remain. This video was developed by the Center of Women’s Rights within the UN Women regional programme “Implementing Norms, Changing Minds,” funded by the European Union.
