The stigma surrounding sexual violence in Kosovo and elsewhere is so powerful that survivors often feel inhibited from sharing their stories even with close family members for fear of being disowned. Survivors traumatized by war are then re-traumatized by society.
My visit to Kosovo was organized by @VasfijeKrasniqi, who is the first survivor to publicly share her story in Kosovo. She has inspired thousands of women to come forward. And she symbolizes the courage of survivors who have broken silence and stigma in their quest for justice. https://t.co/KwrdOx6aas
My visit to Kosova: Thread I heard the wrenching first-hand accounts of war victims who survived rape and torture. Despite decades of trauma, these survivors found the courage to tell their stories in the hopes of one day bringing the perpetrators to justice.
