Interior Minister Pançe Toshkovski revealed today a concerning surge in reported instances of family violence over the past few weeks. He confirmed that institutions are dedicating considerable effort to enacting comprehensive reforms and bolstering their responses to those affected. The minister highlighted that the recorded numbers represent a substantial rise above typical levels.
He stressed the importance of public awareness regarding this increase, acknowledging that a contributing factor is the growing trust victims place in the system. “Previously, we routinely handled around two cases weekly; now, we’re dealing with several cases daily,” Toshkovski stated. Specifically, he cited a weekend incident where more than ten reports of family violence were received.
This data indicates that victims are feeling empowered to come forward and disclose abuse. Furthermore, the minister suggested that heightened institutional vigilance, extending beyond the Public Service, is also playing a role in this rise. The increased reporting signifies a positive shift, demonstrating greater support for victims and a more responsive approach to addressing this serious issue.
