Bosnia accused of ignoring sexual violence

  • 12 years ago
Bosnia-Herzegovina is being urged to honour its commitment to victims of sexual violence during the 1990s war, as human rights group Amnesty International accused the government of negelcting many of the survivors.

While much of society has moved on from the atrocities committed during the three-year war, which began in 1992, there are many who have had to suffer in silence.

One rape victim, Enisa Salcinovic, told Al Jazeera that she hoped her testimonies would hlep those who perpetrated the crimes to face justice.
