A former politically persecuted man denounces from Shkodra My name is Abdyl Murati. I live in the Tepe neighborhood of the city of Shkodra. Although for four months straight no one has given me an answer about the violence that was used against my family at the Internal Affairs branch of this district, I decided to denounce it publicly by turning to "Zeri i Popullit".

The report highlighted the achievements of this forum since the first conference in terms of organizing and enlivening the forum's activity.

Correspondent of "Zëri i Popullit" Përmet: The concerns and problems faced by women today were at the center of the work of the second conference of women of the Përmet district. In the report, the chairwoman of the Forum Eleni Jance dwelt on the current situation of the women of Përmet, who have been affected by the reforms and have become housewives. The Socialist Women’s Forum in Përmet, during these three years of its existence, has spread to all areas of the city and district of Përmet, Këlcyrë and the communes of the district. The many discussions conveyed the legitimate concern about the insecurity of the lives of men and boys in emigration, the kidnapping of girls for prostitution, the scandalous lack of water and health care. The discussion by the representative from Kosina was moving; she presented the grim picture of rural women who are falling into depressive states because of isolation. Rural women, she emphasized, pull up the anchor because they have no money to pay for medical treatment. This even causes spontaneous abortions. Girls are not sent to secondary school because we are afraid of traffickers of women. Children leave school because the burden of agricultural work and livestock tending falls on their young shoulders. At the end, the conference elected the leading bodies.

Citizens should not be denied the right to contest a particular law, but contesting and changing the law should be done democratically, through the legitimate public procedures provided for in advance and by majority vote.
