"The Economic Hardships of Bosnian Women: Examples from Srebrenica"

Please join the Harriman Institute, the Center for the Study of Human  
Rights, and the Advocacy Project of Washington, DC, for a brownbag  
discussion with Beba Hadzic, the founder of BOSFAM,  an organization  
in Srebenica, Bosnia-Herzegovina, that employs local women to produce  
handicrafts. BOSFAM is known for creating Memorial Quilts, which  
remember those who have died during the Bosnian war. Mrs. Hadzic will  
be in the USA thanks to a grant from the Hermann Boll Foundation to  
raise awareness about the economic hardships faced by rural women in  
Bosnia.
