Abstract
The majority of problems that women are confronting today originate from a lack of respect for human and reproductive rights. Escalating war crises are producing an enormous number of civilian victims, of whom women and children comprise the major part. Rape used as a war tactic in Bosnia has proven to be a very powerful tool. War in Bosnia has provided a tragic incentive to work on strategies and tactics for reaching the victims in such chaotic and unpredictable circumstances.Keywords
