Women Hide Behind a Wall of Silence
Drakulic, Slavenka | March 1, 1993 issue

The article focuses on the living conditions in Resnik, a camp near Zagreb, Croatia housing 9000 refugees, mostly Muslims, from Bosnia and Herzegovina. They have lived here for months now, ten to fifteen of them in one room. They are not allowed to cook, they have to fetch their water from outside faucets and the nearest toilets are fifty meters away. In the room of the Kahrimanovic family there are six bunk beds, one tin stove, no table, no chairs, no closet. All they possess is laid out on the beds: clothes, toys, cans of food, two or three pots. Yet these people, from a village near Kozarac in Bosnia, consider themselves lucky because they have survived.
