Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book combines scholarly analysis with first-person experiences to examine the current state of women in Bosnia twenty years after the Balkan War. It argues that women's organizations are successfully addressing current challenges, such as domestic violence and human trafficking, using abilities and networks developed during the war. |
