Protests against sexual violence also took place in the city of Durres and Lezhe yesterday, at the same time as the large protest in Tirana.

Following the rape of a 15-year-old girl by the school guard and three other individuals, and after the news that seven rapists would be released on probation after repeatedly abusing a minor from Kavaje, thousands of citizens took to the streets last night.
