Contents Summary

This report focuses on the experiences of rape victims in the former Yugoslavia and the activities of Judy Darnell. Darnell is a former volunteer combat nurse on the front lines in Croatia who revisited the region in order to learn about the experiences of raped women and provide them with support and help. Darnell interviews female victims of rape, most of whom are Bosnian Muslim refugees in Croatia, and the perpetrators, Bosnian Serb soldiers in a Bosnian prison. Darnell's opinion is that rape is being used by the Serb soldiers as a weapon in the Bosnian conflict, "as a part of their ethnic cleansing campaign." Forced impregnation also discussed. Scene of woman in pink scarf retelling her rape.
