The rates of abortions are up, while the number of abandoned children is decreased
The increasing number of abortions in Albania, has automatically decreased the number of abandoned children. This was argued in a short documentary of Mr. Gjergji Gjeli, a new film director. The documentary was financed by The Open Society Foundation in Albania.
In Albania we have never seen a real debate on abortion, though.
During only 11 minutes of this documentary entitled ‘Ninullat’, afilm that was awarded the 3rd price in the contest “Rrathe” several social workers tell their experience with abandoned children in some orphanages. The stories are shocking, while the author views with criticism the long and almost never lasting procedures for adoption.
