Human and Minority Rights and Gender Equality Committee Chairman Appeals for More Appropriate Media Coverage of Abuse Cases
The Chairman of the Committee on Human and Minority Rights and Gender Equality Meho Omerovic condemned today’s coverage of the reported sexual abuse of a boy from Knjazevac by his father.
The media of course play an important role in the fight against violence, especially against cases such as the monstrous sexual abuse of one’s own child. However the objective of a media campaign should be to protect the victims. That is why I appeal to the media to find a more appropriate way to report on this type of case. On the other hand it is very important that the school, students, teachers and psychologists reacted appropriately when they came to suspect sexual abuse and prevented an even bigger tragedy.”
