In July 1995 the United Nations declared "safe area" of Srebrenica in Bosnia-Hercegovina was allowed to fall to besieging nationalist Serbs. Over 7,000 men and boys were massacred. The women of Srebrenica were forcibly evacuated from the enclave, and today live as refugees in their own country. In Tuzla they have formed themselves into a campaigning group "Zene Srebrenice" or "Women of Srebrenica" to fight for justice. Following a tour of Britain by the Women of Srebrenica a campaign - The Srebrenica Justice Campaign - was launched to support their demands. We are now linked with groups across the world to form Srebrenica Justice International.

Continue to provide material assistance for refugees from Srebrenica (and all other parts of Bosnia) to return to their homes. |
