Opis

Based on extensive interviews with male and female survivors in Bosnia and Herzogovina, this book addresses a gap in the current literature on rape and sexual violence in conflict situations. It demonstrates that rape and sexual violence give rise to long-term needs that, within the context of transitional justice processes, are often overlooked.
