For those who may have forgotten or never knew the staggering level of rape as a weapon of war during the conflict in Bosnia.
She was impregnated as a result of multiple rapes by Serb soldiers at a rape camp in Pale, the Serb stronghold outside of Sarajevo.
During her 10 weeks in captivity, she was burned with cigarette butts, cut with a razor, and constantly humiliated for being Muslim. She was raped 16 times, often at knife and gunpoint. She says they told her that, “there were too many Muslim people and a lot of Muslims were going to give birth to Serbian children”.
