Koalicioni i OJQ-ve për Mbrojtjen e Fëmijëve - KOMF, Zyra e Kryeministrit të Kosovës - Office for Good Governance- office of the Prime Minister in Kosovo, Trust Circle Foundation dhe Qendra Labyrinth vinë me instalacionin "𝐍𝐣𝐞̈ 𝐤𝐨𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐭 𝐩𝐚 𝐯𝐚𝐫𝐞̈𝐬𝐢", si një mesazh ndërgjegjësues dhe thirrje për parandalimin e përdorimit të drogave nga fëmijët dhe të rinjtë në Kosovë.Kosova po përballet me sfida të shumta në parandalimin dhe trajtimin e fëmijëve viktima të abuzimit me substanca narkotike. Vitet e fundit, vlerësohet se numri i përgjithshëm i përdoruesve ka kaluar për herë të parë shifrën prej 30,000. Brenda kësaj shifre, fëmijët dhe adoleshentët zënë një pjesë gjithnjë e më të madhe, çdo vit e më shumë. Bazuar në të dhënat e organizatës Labyrinth, mosha mesatare e fillimit të përdorimit të drogave ka rënë nga 18 vjeç në vitin 2018, në 16 vjeç në periudhën e fundit.Për ta adresuar këtë situatë alarmante, është thelbësore që të ndërmerren masa urgjente për rritjen e ndërgjegjësimit mbi rreziqet e përdorimit të drogave. Gjithashtu, kërkohet zhvillimi i programeve të strukturuara për parandalimin dhe trajtimin e varësisë nga substancat narkotike në Kosovë dhe zhvillimin e shërbimeve të specializuara për trajtimin e fëmijëve dhe të rinjve përdorues të drogave, si dhe për fuqizimin e prindërve përmes programeve që i ndihmojnë ata të rrisin kapacitetin për përkujdesje dhe mbështetje ndaj fëmijëve të tyre.Kjo nismë avokuese u realizua në kuadër të "MEGAFON” - i cili mbështetet nga projekti rajonal SMART Balkans – Shoqëria Civile për Vlera të Përbashkët në Ballkanin Perëndimor të zbatuar nga Centar za promociju civilnog društva (CPCD) në bashkëpunim me Instituti për Demokraci dhe Ndërmjetësim (IDM), dhe Qendra për Kërkim dhe Politikëbërje (CRPM) dhe i mbështetur financiarisht nga Ministria e Punëve të Jashtme të Norvegjisë (NMFA). ...

🔴KOMF bën thirrje që prindërit të flasin rregullisht dhe hapur me fëmijët për dukurinë e dhunës, format e saj, pasojat negative që ajo sjell në jetën dhe shëndetin mendor të fëmijëve, si dhe të promovojnë dhe edukojnë tek fëmijët e tyre, mënyra konstruktive dhe paqësore për të zgjidhur konfliktet. Edukimi për respekt, tolerancë dhe mirëkuptim duhet të fillojë në familje dhe të forcohet çdo ditë.Nevojitet që prindërit të:• Ndajnë kohë për biseda të hapura dhe të ndershme me fëmijët mbi dhunën dhe pasojat e saj. • Promovojnë dhe modelojnë tek fëmijët sjellje paqësore në marrëdhënie me të tjerët. • Monitorojnë dhe orientojnë përmbajtjet që fëmijët shohin dhe ndajnë, sidomos në rrjetet sociale. • Përkujdesen dhe monitorojnë mënyrën se si fëmijët e kalojnë kohën kur prindërit nuk janë të pranishëm.• Kërkojnë bashkëpunim të ngushtë me shkollën për të mbështetur fëmijën.• Kërkojnë mbështetje profesionale kur fëmijët tregojnë shenja të stresit, ankthit ose sjelljeve agresive.KOMF u bën thirrje prindërve të flasin hapur me fëmijët për dhunën, të promovojnë sjellje paqësore dhe konstruktive, të ndjekin përmbajtjet që fëmijët konsumojnë dhe të bashkëpunojnë me shkollën për mbështetje. ...

Ky është një alarm serioz që kërkon veprim të menjëhershëm nga familjet, institucionet dhe e gjithë shoqëria, por mbi të gjitha nga familja, e cila mbetet mjedisi ku fëmijët formojnë vlerat dhe sjelljet e tyre.KOMF bën thirrje që prindërit të flasin rregullisht dhe hapur me fëmijët për dukurinë e dhunës, format e saj, pasojat negative që ajo sjell në jetën dhe shëndetin mendor të fëmijëve, si dhe të promovojnë dhe edukojnë tek fëmijët e tyre, mënyra konstruktive dhe paqësore për të zgjidhur konfliktet.

KOMF thekson se çdo fëmijë ka të drejtë të rritet në një mjedis të sigurt dhe mbrojtës. Prindërit apo kujdestarër ligjorë janë linja e parë e mbrojtjes dhe ndikimit pozitiv në jetën e fëmijëve të tyre. Duke folur me fëmijët, duke i dëgjuar ata dhe duke edukuar modele konstruktive e tolerante të sjelljes, ne të gjithë kontribuojmë në parandalimin e dhunës dhe në ndërtimin e një shoqërie më të sigurt për fëmijët tanë. ...
