2012 | TRIAL Report: Between Stigma And Oblivion: A Guide on Defending the Rights of Women Victims of Rape or other Forms of Sexual Violence in Bosnia and Herzegovina, by G. Citroni

This guide was drafted to provide a concise but complete overview of the existing international legal framework relevant for women victims of sexual violence, and of the available international legal means for action. The guide is directed not only at victims of sexual violence and their representative organizations, but also at lawyers assisting them.


Among the potential actions described in the guide, some can be undertaken by victims themselves and by civil society organizations on their own. But other actions will indeed require the assistance of a qualified lawyer.
