Notes
a/
In pursuance of this plan, the following activities may be mentioned:
(a) UNESCO's support for the first women's conference in Bosnia and
Herzegovina held in Sarajevo from 25 June to 2 July 1996. More than 400 women
from 40 countries attended. Seventy were from countries of the former
Yugoslavia and 50 from the Serbian entity. President Izetbegovic noted the
vital role of women in the resistance and in the administration of the country
during the war years. This meeting was a real success because it actually took
place and because of the quality of the statements made. As a result of this
conference, UNESCO was able to continue its implementation of the rehabilitation
plan for women and children victims of rape in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Four
agreements have already been concluded.
(b) Training of officials of women's associations in the organization
of psycho-social rehabilitation programmes for women and children who have been
victims of violence (especially sexual violence) and establishment of persons
trained in pilot meetings in new reception centres.
(c) Establishment in the town of Gorazde of a reception centre for
displaced women or war victims. Its aim is to promote activities which involve
manual work as therapy. There will also be a psycho-medical unit. A manual
will be published for leaders of reception centres and therapeutists.
