From Woman to Woman | Music to Help Heal War Wounds

From Woman to Woman is a collaborative project between Musicians without Borders (Netherlands) and Snaga Žene (meaning 'Women Power') based in Bośnia i Hercegovina. The project uses music to address severe, persistent war-related trauma among women in Eastern Bosnia. More specifically, From Woman to Woman introduces the use of the voice and the body - singing and body percussion in the broadest sense of the word - as a powerful supplement to existing medical and psychosocial support programs. These activities, at their core, are aimed at facilitating the healing process of women who are deeply haunted by traumatic experiences of violence, dislocation, and the loss of dear ones, during the ethnic "cleansing" in the Srebrenica region of Bosnia, in 1995.

We are launching this fundraising campaign to coincide with International Women's Day - March 8th 2014. Your contribution would be a great gift to the women of eastern Bosnia, and which will help extend and improve their healing through music and dance workshops for another 12 months.
