Did you know that the war in Bosnia didn’t just take lives during the 90s… it’s still taking lives today?

Since 2015, 56 women have been killed in Bosnia because of gender-based violence. In 2024 alone — almost one woman every month.

Why? Because the trauma of war doesn’t just end. It moves into homes. It turns silence into survival.

Almost 1 in 2 women in Bosnia have experienced violence. That’s the hidden aftermath of genocide and war — it didn’t stop at the borders, it followed us into our families.

In this episode, I talk about how war trauma, domestic violence, and even patriotism are connected… and why breaking the silence is the only way forward.
