This paper focuses on the efforts of the nongovernmental organization Medica Zenica in treating women who are victims of sexual violence in Bosnia-Herzegovina. The organization was established in 1993 in Zenica, Bosnia by a German gynecologist who had heard about the Bosnian rape camps and came to help women survivors. For the first 5 years, Medica was able to provide medical care to 18,000 women and children; counseling and/or group therapy were provided to 2000 women and children. Aside from medical care, Medica has developed other programs such as research, advocacy, networking, education, and training. Furthermore, Medica has a fully equipped gynecological clinic which offers services to Zenican and refugee women, operates a mobile outpatient clinic "Martha", and provides therapy for its staff, as well as survivors of violence. |
