A Voice For the Voiceless

The Advocacy Project helps marginalized communities to tell their story, claim their rights and produce social change. We recruit graduate students to volunteer as Peace Fellows with partners.

The Impact of Service



"Speaking with locals and living in a country is the best way to learn about the real lives of citizens, not just the stories in the mainstream media. I will be more critical of what I read as a result of this experience. I also feel even more grateful for my education, and I feel a stronger responsibility to assist others who do not have resources or access to opportunities in their communities."

Maria Skouras (New York University) volunteered in 2011 as a Peace Fellow for eHomemakers in Malaysia.

Challenge

The war in Bosnia broke out in the spring of 1992 and culminated in the Srebrenica massacre, in July 1995. By the time the Dayton Agreement formally put an end to fighting, four months later, one of Europe’s most integrated societies was in ruins and over 200,000 Muslims had been killed. The impact on Srebrenica was particularly devastating. The impact of the war – and the way that it shaped the response of the Srebrenica survivors – is described in these pages.
