"The words that the presenter of the morning program spoke about violence against women and directly blamed the female victims for the violence represent the opinion and reflection of the understanding and the majority attitude of the institutions and almost the entire society. Such a message that was sent this morning from the morning program of TVCG is, above all, devastating and discouraging for the very victims of violence who are accused of guilt, condemnation and misunderstanding from the public service and sends the message that they are to blame for the violence that happens to them. Apparently the host who represents the official face of RTCG did not understand that violence is a phenomenon, it happens every day, it can happen to anyone in any form and that there is and cannot be any justification for violence and abusers," Petrović pointed out.
She added that "it is a fact that a couple of women's organizations and a couple of activists, practitioners in working with victims, who for 25 years have been trying to promote non-violence policies in all educational and informative ways and to improve awareness among institutions and in the social community about the causes and perniciousness of violence for the victim. and then for the whole society, family and the whole country, this morning she experienced discredit and misunderstanding from the representative of the Public Service of Montenegro".
"Unfortunately, the young, insensitive, uninformed and uneducated host of the Morning Program of the Public Service discriminated in the rudest possible way against the painstakingly achieved results in working with victims of violence and the advancement of women's human rights in all areas and showed an elementary ignorance of women's human rights and promotion non-violence against women, girls, girls. With her scandalous conclusion about violence against women, the presenter of the Public Service showed everyone how strong the roots of patriarchy, stereotypes and prejudices towards violence against women are and how far their metastasis has reached, so that even the medical space of the Public Service is contaminated with falsehoods about a woman victim of violence," Petrović said.
She said that the general director of RTCG Boris Raonic should not be shocked by such a statement of the presenter, because as the general director of RTCG he should be familiar with what knowledge and from which areas those who play the role of presenters, editors and others have at their disposal. employees can adequately cover a specific topic, and not destroy the few women's human rights that have been achieved in a primitive and scandalous way.
"Another fact for Mr. General Director Raonic (so that he would not be shocked again) is that since his arrival as the head of the Public Service, almost no activity, let alone the advertising of the Montenegrin Women's Lobby, deserves attention and publication on TVCG as well as on the RTCG portal. Whether it is a coincidence or not, I would not deal with it, because after such a primitive, discouraging, patriarchally traditional, stereotypical and above all scandalous message of the TVCG host, it is clear how much patriarchal and backward concepts of patriarchal patterns towards violence against women are nurtured in that media house, and that Mr. Raonic will have to seriously deal with the staff that reports or monitors the realization and progress of women's human rights in all forms," concluded Petrović.
