With the opening of the exhibition "Speaking Out" by War Childhood Museum from Sarajevo in the Endzio hub in Belgrade, on October 2, 2021, the Youth Initiative for Human Rights opened a Thematic week dedicated to the fight against sexual violence in war. In addition to the exhibition within the thematic week, panel discussions, book promotions and film screenings were organized, in order to remind the public in Serbia of the problem of sexual violence in the war and the needs of survivors.
Last week, twenty-five young activists and journalists from Serbia attended the seminar ‘Practices of Remembering the Srebrenica Genocide’ at the Srebrenica Memorial Centre in Potočari, organised by the Youth Initiative for Human Rights, Independent Journalists’ Association of Vojvodina and forumZFD.
Twenty young activists in the field of transitional justice gathered in Vršac, Serbia from five post-conflict countries in the region - Serbia, Kosovo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and Montenegro to share experiences, network and discuss - but most importantly to continue to learn new skills and gather knowledge.
The Youth Initiative for Human Rights Serbia (YIHR Serbia) and the Youth Initiative for Human Rights Kosovo (YIHR Kosovo) demand from the negotiating teams of Belgrade and Pristina to publish a document in Serbian and Albanian on the exchange and / or opening of secret archives as soon as possible. And above all, the families of the missing need to be informed about further steps in the search for missing persons.
