Here you can see Bosnia-Hercegovina and also Croatia, so so you can see the Bosnian capital Sarajevo, where I am now, and you can see Mostar, where I will be tomorrow. I am also planning to visit Vukovar in northeastern Croatia (near Osijek, not shown on this map unfortunately). Vukovar was heavily impacted by the war and was only returned to Croatia (after being conquered by Serbia) in 1998.

This is a map showing the ethnic constellation before the war (in 1991).

And this is the ethnic constellation after the war (in 1998). So you can see that the genocide carried out here had very significant impact on the locations where people of different ethnicities reside within the country.

On the last 2 maps, you can see the towns of Tuzla and Zenica which were hit hard during the war and particularly were affected by sexual violence and mass rape. i am planning to visit these communities and meet with women's groups in the area with the hope of making connections for my dissertation research.
