Your commitment counts! In autumn β in the middle of the war in Bosnia β Monika Hauser reads about the countless number of raped women. She reads that Serbian soldiers turn hotels and factories into brothels where women are held captive for days or months. Her shock after reading this is matched only by her outrage at the manner in which the media report about the women: tantamount to abusing them a second time. As a gynaecologist, she decides to take the matter into her own hands.
Monika Hauser meets with indifference when she goes to international aid organisations and presents her idea to take care exclusively of girls and women raped in the war. So she joins forces with about 20 female Bosnian psychologists and doctors.
