Sunday’s protest against femicide, held in Skopje, began with a one-minute silence in tribute to 17-year-old Biljana Kirikj from Bogdanci, who was murdered by her partner.
Citizens in attendance expressed their anger and dissatisfaction with institutions, which, according to them, failed once again to protect the victim. The Not One More informal initiative emphasized that authorities were failing to prevent violence and demanded accountability and urgent changes.
Meanwhile, LDP leader and MP Zajkova announced that, at the request of citizens, a petition had been launched demanding the introduction of electronic ankle bracelets to monitor perpetrators of domestic violence.
