My Voice, My Strength – No More Silence, the Survivor Speaks Publicly.
On the occasion of April 14 – Memorial Day of Survivors of Sexual Violence during the War in Kosovo, the Kosovo Center for the Rehabilitation Center for Torture Victims (KRCT) organizes the dedicatory and awareness-raising event: My Voice, My Strength – No More Silence, the Survivor Speaks Publicly.
This event marks a historic moment in efforts to break the silence around wartime sexual violence in Kosovo. For the first time, a male survivor of sexual violence spoke publicly about his experience – which is not just a personal testimony, it is an act of courage that challenges silence, breaks taboos, and opens a new chapter in the history of justice and dignity for survivors of sexual violence in our country. An extraordinary act of personal courage and emotional empowerment, which reflects the profound transformation that occurs through professional and human support. This journey has not been easy for Dani-Ramadan Nishori. This moment marks a major step towards breaking the silence, an extraordinary act of courage that gives voice to all those who still feel unheard.
KRCT, as a leading organization in providing physical, psychological and social rehabilitation services to survivors of wartime sexual violence, has played a key role in empowering survivors to break taboos and share their stories with the public. Through continuous, sensitive work based on the principles of professionalism, KRCT has enabled the creation of a safe space where survivors have found not only treatment, but also the confidence to build a new, strong identity free from stigma and prejudice. This event is more than a personal story – it is a call for awareness, recognition and continued commitment to survivors of sexual violence, who, despite the years that have passed, continue to need comprehensive support, ongoing psychological services and ongoing institutional and social commitment. KRCT reiterates that the empowerment of survivors is not a single, time-limited process, but a long-term commitment that requires continuity, care, and institutional and societal commitment. All survivors deserve to be heard, supported, and treated with the dignity and respect they deserve.
