Jovana Dragović, president of the Women's Association of the Europe Now Movement (PES), called on the Civic Movement URA and non-governmental organizations to condemn the "misogyny attack" on the wife of Prime Minister Milojko Spajić and all wives of PES officials.
"Misogyny is in full swing, and women's dignity is in complete darkness. When we thought we had seen everything and that it couldn't get any worse, today we are witnessing a base and above all disgusting misogynistic attack. Now the list is targeted, and it is aimed at the Prime Minister's wife and all the wives of officials of the Europe Now Movement," it was stated in a statement that Dragović submitted to the media.
She commented on a post by Facebook user Jovana Kikanović, who, as reported by Montenegrin media, targeted the wife of the Montenegrin Prime Minister.
"How will these sheikhs give you... wives on Mala Plaža. First Milojkova. Renting," the controversial post states.
What is unusual and novel about this latest attack on women, as Dragović states, is that it originates from, no less than, one woman.
"I can't help but wonder what drives a woman to such an outburst and behavior that is unbecoming of a civilized person. Lack of awareness and shame, for sure. I also call on GP URA, of which the author of this mundane piece is a member and supporter, to stand up as loudly and without political selection in protecting all women. Because that is how the values of civic Montenegro are defended, and the equality of all people before the law and life," Dragović assessed.
She pointed out that the Women's Association and the Europe Now Movement have always respected and expressed a clear position on these and similar anomalies.
"I also call on the NGO sector, especially those non-governmental organizations that deal with human rights and women's rights, to condemn such misogynistic attacks in public, without exception. Or, we are less valuable in the eyes of 'current' dissenters. Today, with hope for common sense, or at least until the next agreed positions, we will wait," her statement concludes.
