Prevention and Punishment of Sexual Violence Against Women and Children (Research Brief)

There were three purposes to the trip: (1)to oversee the second summer of implementation of a reconciliation program I helped to establish for teenagers of differing ethnic and religious backgrounds in Mostar, Bosnia; (2) to visit Belgrade as the guest of the Special Advisor to the Minister for Yugoslavia to the European Union in order to discuss that country’s admission to the Union and to see many of the NATO bombing sites; and (3) to establish initial contacts in Bosnia to follow up my earlier research on the reconstruction of civil society for women and the growing problem of sexual trafficking in women and children. I was able to achieve all three purposes in the course of my trip.
