Prostitution and many other negative phenomena, which most of
these phenomena are closely related with education process of
the individual. While I was reading about prostitution as a
common occurrence among us, I had a feeling that a great number
of citizens are in concordance with this dreadful events of our
time. It is clear that from that, we have confused nature, but
if this silence is to be continued, alongside these shocking
phenomena our confusion will increase greatly. Personally, I am
optimistic for better days, but we cannot neglect the weaknesses
that are becoming more common among us. Inefficient display of
these occurrences and not finding a proper settings for
displaying the true nature of these phenomena will affect our
people to the extend that we are going to lose in time and
space. Our population is small in number, to survive we must
preserve ourselves more than the others. If our ancestors
brought us up to here and in this stage, we must continue the
tradition and not to baffle ourselves more with mistakes,
subsequently we must learn from them and eradicate these
obstacles. Our ancestors did not allow that their families
disintegrate to that extend, disintegration of our community in
our time is incomparable with the time of our ancestors. We are
aware of mistakes of previous generations and good work of one
generation cannot change for the better our generation. This
clearly defined from our Prophet, the messenger of God, who
warned the believers: I seek refuge from Allah that five
qualities do not occur among you. The viciousness does not
spread until people invite it. If it appears and it is apparent
enough, certain infectious diseases and strange pains among
their predecessors? another saying goes: If prostitution
and interest emerges in one society then they themselves have
invited the punishment of Allah. If we try to comment of
these statements, we perceive AIDS as horrendous disease. It was
appeared as firstly among homosexuals and prostitutes, not to
mention the penalty of which we experienced few years ago, but
the complication is that we don?t get a lesson from all this.
Bearing the fact that we are nation with small population, it is
not in our interest to challenge the diseases of our time. We
are witness of great expenses on marketing and advertising on
fight against the AIDS, disease that was not common among us.
Migration of Prostitutes from Northeast
Moreover we are witness of our actual condition our standpoint
on prostitution. It is present, we all see it, but we do not
want to acknowledge this situation. We behave as if we do not
see it, but I believe that everyone among us prays to God
saying, ?God willing it will keep it away from my home.? Without
doubt, an atheist does this praying as well.
I
n
one village in Tetova, while the congregation was coming out of
the mosque after they finished praying Maghrib, in one of the
houses next to the mosque some girls were coming out, strange to
an eye of the common observer. These women are from Moldavia,
Ukraine, and Russia. As the congregation was expressing their
sorrow for these women, one cynic said, ?They are not
prostitutes, but stripteasers. This village is not the only one,
there are many examples from many villages and cities in the
regions populated with Albanians. These indeed are shocking
events and nobody takes it seriously. I have heard any of the
heads of families saying, ?Let the God?s shame befell upon
them,? but this is not enough. Indeed Allah is going to shame
them one day, but it does not suit our call for changing the
society in this world. We are waiting the days to come, taking
no immediate actions, most probably we?ll receive the same
amount of the shame in ourselves, being indifferent and
terrified when we come across these vicious deeds. Nobody but
nihilists is being patient. Sometime in the past the people were
judging the imams for their nihilism, but now I?ll take a stand
and claim, where are we, why we don?t raise the voice against
this vile acts which is destroying our moral and families?!
Alternatively, we going to go on and saying just like we said
years ago ?wait till we get an independence, then we?ll deal
with this things effortlessly?!
Local Prostitutes and Social Outcomes
As
the reader was preparing to read this article with ease, he
found out that a great number of these girls are Albanians. In
fact, one of the reports done by IWPR published in ?Epoka e Re?,
days before we acknowledge that Albanian prostitutes are roaming
the streets of Europe. The number goes up to 100.000. As it
seems in a report, the number of prostitutes working in Greece
are not included, it is estimated that 40 to 50 thousand girls
operating in Greece. For sure, the number is approximately the
same of the girls working in our regions, just in Albanian the
number of prostitutes operating is appalling. Even in Kosova the
umber is increasing because of the international staff in the
country. The clientele is Albanian because their counterpart
brought the girls with good price so many people can afford to
visit them. The living standard is higher among the
international staff so they demand young and local girls. The
less poor local clientele demands for older and cheaper.
Those who exercise this activity applying this formula have
managed to conceal the secret, foreign men with local girls and
local men with foreign girls. Serbs and Greeks are and continue
being our enemies for centuries. They never wished anything good
for us. Their unremitting effort to wipe us from our regions
because they did not succeed in many attempts, but this time if
we carry on like this we are going to approve their oppression.
We did not forget the tales of our ancestors on the sufferings
they had, because we have similar experience.
Family is Sacred
The
Serbs have developed the art of crime involving us in this
process. They could not or did not know how, but I consider that
they handle to miss the opportunity to disintegrate the Albanian
family. They had no vision and for this, we thank God almighty.
They tried to smear our faith, but their attempt was fruitless.
They did weaken it to some extend. Previous generation has
succeeded in preserving the family being grateful to the
religious education that saved us from total assimilation. While
we enjoy our Fredom, our generation is loosing its family.
??If this process is to be continued regretfully I am
saying soon we we will lose our nation. The best claim for
proving my case is Greek politics in Albania. It has managed
cunningly to convert hundreds of thousands Albanian into Greek
nationality. These people now have their Greek names with
Albanian passports; they have a right to vote for Greek party in
Albanian, etc. In Greece, more 40.00 Albanian girls operate as
successful prostitute. What kind of patriotism we expect from
this human being with no dignity for herself. Such a kind of
people they wished they were dead let alone contributing for the
community. In most of the cultures the family is considered as
sacred, in our society as it appears family is dissolving in a
great pace. There is no doubt; our national identity is
weakening more each and more each day.
Woman?s Emancipation in Danger, Mafia craft the Laws
According to the IWRP reports ?many girls refuse to go to school
because the fright that they might fall into the hands of
traficants is great?. Save the Children, organization has done a
research in 2001 which shows that in far remote areas children
have to walk to school for more than one hour, 90% e girls have
discontinued their formal education.
If
we say that prostitution is a result of poverty the claim that
this society is not accurate. If one society no matter how
impoverished it is, if it has strong foundations, it has own
identity, it cannot contain ugly sights inside herself.
If
we are to put up with these phenomena, furthermore we might find
ourselves on the edge of national downfall. The network of
organized crime will continues to grow until that extends that
hardship will befell on the next generation, to heal the wounds
of or blunder. We know that codes of crime do not recognize any
religion and nation. The probability that or own Mafia has good
links with Serbian Mafia or wider circle of neighboring states.
They do not feel sorry if their own people have not nation
state. They traffic local and international girls. Mafia is not
concerned with history and inter-brotherhood relations, their
main concern is how to get rich stepping aside all the
consequences. The barriers of language, religion, and tradition
among us do not exist. Corruption has started affecting the
offices of laws, customs, and tourism. However if no action is
taken to eradicate this awful practice, it will stretch to other
institution.
Problem Solving
In
healthy body lies a healthy spirit it says one folk tradition.
It is hard to find healthy mind, when our body is amputated. We
always have studied the consequences, but not the problem
itself. However, before we find the solution to our quandaries
we must bring the examples from the voluntarily effort done by
Mr. Xhavit Shala, an ex. police inspector who worked for a law
enforcement agency. He had lost hopes for implementing his
project. His project involved the rehabilitation and
re-integration of females, victims of trafficking supposedly
financed from the local government of Albania. He found some
donations from local donators just not to let the infection of
the wound spreading. His capabilities are very limited, they do
not wipe out the problem, but it is needed a bold and energetic
move to other parts of the state. In those cases it will be
needed an outside aid from local or republican government,
however they consider these problems as minor to be in their
policies and agendas. They consider small problems because they
are part of the organized crime. Thus what can Mr. Shala do! He
is indeed for many families is honored and respected, but for
sure this is not enough as long as the politicians are dealing
with small ?things?, their conscience of the elite to fid the
means and material stimulation to heal this wound before it is
to late. Therefore, I impart some proposals, which are not
studied carefully but are the reflection of my inertness of this
terrible wound.
Urgent Measures
-
I propose, in concordance with the proposal of Mr. Shala that
people who has been the subject of trafficking to re-integrate
in our society, that their families change the stance and stop
prejudice against them.
-
Considering the facts and circumstances we are living today
the prostitutes who are willing to practice their profession,
will be granted with the permit to continue this filthy
vocation, they will be granted with permit to open brothels,
as long as they do not pollute our environment.
-
Those women will be prohibited from vesting their families,
saying we almost we cleaned the wound with chirurgical
intervention.
-
We will treat the disease according to our potential. Those
who intentionally infect themselves and society, and those
children who are infected from AIDS since they were in their
mother wound. Those who have these diseases as the result of
their professions had better not be sorry for themselves,
because the society cannot rehabilitate for them. The budget
of Kosova is 22US$ the priority for this aid will be for those
who deserve it .
Long-term Measures
1. I
propose religious course in our formal education. This course
would be not only a deterrent measure but it will be a good
regulator and catalyst for maintaining the prosperity of our
society.
2. Those
who are responsible for their families it is in their best
interest to attempt to marry their children as soon as possible.
I do not agree with those who support the idea that early
marriages are cause for discontinuation of the education, in
contrary it stimuli and gives energy to the society.
3. The
psychologists suggest that motivational and educative activities
for adolescents are very crucial. In other words, we must try to
limit the negative thinking, especially when we can find many
advices from the Prophet of God, Muhammad a.s.
4. The
heads of the families are very close with their children. The
parents must visit the kids at school at least once a month even
though this practice it is best suited if they visit them once a
week. This regulation must e implemented from the Ministry of
Education, Science, and Technology. |
