Bosnian War Rape Survivors ‘Still Afraid to Speak Out’
According to estimates by the United Nations, between 20,000 and 50,000 people were raped during the Bosnian war.
Wartime rape victims often keep quiet about their experiences for years in order to avoid being stigmatised or condemned by their families and communities. Tursunovic did not tell anyone about what she suffered for 17 years.
