The Center for Women's Rights announced that on Sunday, August 3, Alma Ćosović passed away, after being brutally beaten by Dušan Ramić in mid-June, in the presence of her minor child.

"Alma died as a result of the serious injuries she sustained in that attack. She spent more than a month in a coma, with no public information about her health condition, and her death was not reported in the media. Alma left behind three minor children," the Center for Women's Rights emphasized.

The CŽP expresses its sincere condolences to the family of Alma Ćosović and expects a decisive response from the judiciary to this crime, which will ensure that the perpetrator is adequately prosecuted and punished in accordance with the gravity of the crime.

This femicide, they said, is yet another confirmation that women in Montenegro are exposed to extreme violence, and that the state's response is nowhere near the standards prescribed by law.

"We expect the state to take care of the children of femicide victims and to enact a legal obligation to care for their well-being, education, and health," the Women's Rights Center concluded.
