In a joint response , UNICEF Albania and UN Women describe the serious crime against the 15-year-old minor, who was raped by the school guard, and three other young people as ?a serious violation of fundamental human rights and it has a devastating long-term impact on victims and where they live. ?

In a statement, UN Women and UNICEF addressed the government:
"We call on the institutions to investigate such crimes, establishing a culture of zero tolerance for sexual harassment and abuse. "Women and girls need to feel safe in the spaces where they learn, live and play."
In addition, media attention is paid to the treatment of such cases:
"We also call on the media to stop reporting details that reveal the identities of survivors and their families. Information shared with the public should help eradicate the culture of sexual violence, and the media should use its power to fully support survivors, not perpetrators. ?
In terms of society, it is emphasized:
"We urge the whole society not to turn its back on those who are affected by this violence, not to blame them and to react against abuse. There is no justification and tolerance for rape! ?
