During the Bosnian war, Serb forces conducted sexual abuse strategy on Bosnian Muslim girls and women which will later be known as mass rapes phenomenon. Between 20,000 and 44,000 women were systematically raped by the Serb forces.[42] Mass rapes were mostly done in Eastern Bosnia (during Foča massacres), and in Grbavica during the Siege of Sarajevo. Women and girls were kept in various detention centres where they had to live in intolerably unhygienic conditions and were mistreated in many ways including being repeatedly raped. Serb soldiers or policemen would come to these detention centres, select one or more women, take them out and rape them. All this was done in full view, in complete knowledge and sometimes with the direct involvement of the Serb local authorities, particularly the police forces. The head of Foča police forces, Dragan Gagović, was personally identified as one of the men who came to these detention centres to take women out and rape them. There were numerous rape camps in Foča. “Karaman’s house” was one of the most notable rape camps. While kept in this house, the girls were constantly raped. Among the women held in "Karaman's house" there were minors as young as 15 years of age. [25][43]

Muslim women were specifically targeted as the rapes against them were one of the many ways in which the Serbs could assert their superiority and victory over the Bosniaks. For instance, the girls and women, who were selected by convicted war criminal Dragoljub Kunarac or by his men, were systematically taken to the soldiers’ base, a house located in Osmana Đikić street no 16. There, the girls and women, who Kunarac knew were civilians, were raped by his men or by the convicted himself. Some of the girls were just 14. Serb soldiers demonstrated a total disregard for Bosniak in general, and Bosniak women in particular. Serb soldiers removed many Muslim girls from various detention centres and kept some of them for various periods of time for him or his soldiers to rape.[25]

The other example includes Radomir Kovač,convicted also by ICTY. While four girls, were kept in his apartment, the convicted Radomir Kovač abused them and raped three of them many times, thereby perpetuating the attack upon the Bosnian Muslim civilian population. Kovač would also invite his friends to his apartment, and he sometimes allowed them to rape one of the girls. Kovač also sold three of the girls. Prior to their being sold, Kovač had given two of these girls, to other Serb soldiers who abused them for more than three weeks before taking them back to Kovač, who proceeded to sell one and give the other away to acquaintances of his.[25]



GOOD JOB, BOYS
WHAT A DECENT WAY TO INTIMIDATE AND SHAME US
THANK YOU, EVEN THOUGH THE WAR IS PROBABLY BECAUSE OF MEN
WOMEN DON'T REALLY HAVE A SAY ANYWHERE, WHY WOULD WE START A WAR
And why the hell do people get off in selling and raping young women? What a wonderful tactic!
so wonderful it makes me wish i could have each and every one of those men RAPED in return.
See how they like it- i want to save every woman on earth, i want to protect at least half the world's population
I need to apply to be a deity or something because the world was shit then and its still going rotten.

i don't even want to think about it either but when i see, i can't stop reading because all of a sudden, i realize that this is being documented in a country's HISTORY and the world should know so that it will never happen again.

And what the hell kind of war tactic is that? Why punish the women? why not uhm... RAPE EACHOTHER. oh wait, yeah... i forgot. Men don't want to be gay- although i wish i could make every goddamn rapist gay, but then the gay scene would have a black mark on them.and then they'd prolly rape gay boys... there is no safety.
I don't know about what i would do if ever i met one of those dicks who violated one of the 14, 15, 16 year olds.
Selling them off like slaves, giving them away like presents.
Subjects like these make me violent! I try not to read this kind of stuff before i have to talk to any men i am wary towards...
But its true, there are no words for this kind of thing. Its all shit and i wish i could stop things like these from happening. Why do men always drag womyn into things, its like we're a part of the barter and if we are on the opposite site, then we are just another few holes to play with.
Oh, here come the violent thoughts, again....

That shit is fucked up. I disallow myself from giving too much headspace to twisted things that will just mess with me if I try and understand them. I try and find constructive ways to focus my anger... and it can be a challenge, for sure... but its the best thing to do, I think.

Its cool to know you're educating yourself on such important matters.
