The divorce curve has also changed a lot over the past three decades. If in 1990 Albania registered 13.6 divorces per 100 marriages, the peak was reached in 2019, when our country reported almost a doubling of marriage solutions, or 26 divorces per 100 marriages. After this year, divorces have decreased, going down to 15.8 divorces in 2021.

We are very late, in the context of social policies. The world has solved it the moment that violence is proven, it is helped by the state, there is no need to do any such calamity' said Sevim Arbana, the center 'For the benefit of women' Anila Hoxha, a journalist who has been following the issues of women, victims of violence for years and their journey after her denunciation, says that we should not focus only on awareness, since it has already been achieved.
"Institutions must be engaged and be more serious: the local government, the police, the prosecution. Why do I mention these three institutions?
What I have found in the courts, when abused women appear before the court as a whistleblower, they withdraw from the violence suit, which automatically leads to the punishment of the abuser, who may be the husband, a
violent partner, brother. However, women are reluctant to report, the law has determined that the abuser does not escape punishment, but there is something else,' said the journalist, Anila Hoxha./ InsideStory
