ABSTRACT

“[T]hey brought her fourteen-year-old son and forced him to rape her.… On [another] occasion, I was raped with a gun by one of the three men…in the room.… Others stood watching. Some spat on us. They were raping me, the mother and her daughter at the same time. Sometimes you had to accept ten men, sometimes three.… I felt I wanted to die.… The Serbs said to us,”Why aren’t you pregnant?”… I think they wanted to know who was pregnant in case anyone was hiding it. They wanted women to have children to stigmatize us forever. The child is a reminder of what happened.”
