Story
This year marks 21 years since the genocide that took place in Bosnia Herzegovina.
21 women from Manchester consisting of Luna Foundation, and The Women of Faith went out to visit Bosnia, meeting survivors of sexual violence and rape, and those who survived the war and genocide. We had the honour to meet with organisations and people who are working tirelessly to help rebuild lives of those who still suffer from the traumas of the past, helping survivors with closure, and those fighting for peace and justice.
A humbling and life altering experience, we saw footage of some of the brutal and mindless violence that took place, the sheer desperation of people as they sought escape and safety, and witnessed the graves of those who were wiped out on mass.
We ask you to dig deep and support Remembering Srebrenica for their phenomenal work in ensuring that this dark part of history does not fade or become forgotten. 21 years on there are still 1000's who remain unaccounted for, still remain unidentified and many families have not been able to bury their loved ones.
For justice, and for future peace, we cannot remain silent.
We thankyou in advance for your support.
