Witness History

Available for over a year

During the Bosnian war of the early 1990's, thousands of women were raped. Some were kept in concentration camps and repeatedly assaulted. One survivor of Omarska camp, Nusreta Sivac tells Rebecca Kesby her story. As a former judge, she was determined to try to get some justice for the victims of that war, her testimony helped make rape an internationally recognised war crime.
