KOMF, representing 35 non-governmental organizations, expresses deep concern over the footage released showing the abuse of a minor girl during the European Taekwondo Championship.

KOMF reiterates that violence against children is concerning, unacceptable, and sanctioned by the Penal Code of the Republic of Kosovo.

KOMF calls on law enforcement and justice institutions for the immediate and rigorous implementation of legislation regarding this specific case.

KOMF emphasizes that sports federations and clubs must have special regulations and procedures for child protection to establish an internal system that prevents and responds to violations of children’s rights.
