The Global Albanians Foundation

The war took so much, but for thousands of survivors of sexual violence, it also took their voices. For years, they have lived in silence, burdened by pain, by shame that is not theirs to carry, and by a society that too often chose to look away. But no pain should remain in the shadows. No survivor should feel invisible. Your support cannot undo the past, but it can change their future. Your donation helps their voices be heard, their wounds be treated, and their lives not be defined by the violence they endured. ?? Donate to "Beyond the Shadows: Unveiling the Stories of Kosova's Wartime Sexual Violence Survivors" and show that we have not forgotten them. That they are not alone.

Sexual violence during the war in Kosovo left thousands of women and men with wounds that may never fully heal - not just on their bodies, but in their souls. For many, the pain did not end with the war. It continues every day, worsened by silence, stigma, and lack of support. This campaign is an opportunity to break the silence and help survivors rebuild their lives with dignity. Your donations support rehabilitation, psychological assistance, and empowerment, ensuring that survivors are no longer forgotten or abandoned by society. ?? Donate to "Beyond the Shadows: Unveiling the Stories of Kosova's Wartime Sexual Violence Survivors" and be part of the effort for justice, healing, and hope.

"They took everything from me, but they did not break me. Pain pushed me into the darkness, but I chose to rise. I will not be silent anymore. I will not live in the shadows. Please, don’t leave us alone." - said the woman who survived the horrors of war but still carries the wounds deep within. ?? No one can change the past, but together, we can help them build a future with dignity and hope. ??
