A new handbook released on the International Day for the Elimination of Sexual Violence in Conflict aims to address the long-overlooked needs of children born from sexual violence during the wars in Bosnia and Croatia. These children, often referred to as “invisible children,” frequently face legal and social barriers regarding their identity and rights. The handbook seeks to promote official recognition of their status and ensure access to essential rights, including citizenship and psychosocial support. It highlights the lasting trauma experienced by individuals conceived as a result of wartime rape and the challenges they encounter navigating complex legal systems. Advocates hope the resource will encourage governments in the former Yugoslavia to implement policies that acknowledge and protect these vulnerable populations. The initiative underscores the ongoing consequences of conflict-related sexual violence and the importance of addressing the needs of all affected individuals, including subsequent generations. Ultimately, the goal is to provide a pathway towards justice and healing for these war-born children.
