This event is being organised in response to the erasure, revisionism and neglect that the victims of Srebrenica and of the broader wars in Bosnia Herzegovina, Albania and Kosovo face in the West - especially in the Netherlands.

The Netherlands, which was directly complicit in the genocide in Srebrenica, has since 1995 controlled the national discourse on the turn of events. In July 1995, over 8373 (counted) muslim men and boys were murdered by Serb forces in the span of a few days, under the eye of the Dutch Battalion. In total, the war in BiH cost about 100,000 lives between 1992 and 1995, as well at approx. 13,000 lives in Albania and Kosovo between 1998 and 1999.We stand in solidarity with all displaced peoples and firmly against all practices of ethnonationalism and necropolitics, we will therefore be distributing funds between Balkan and non-Balkan initiatives.

This program is organised and curated by RAFI (Raising Awareness and Funds Initiative), an Amsterdam founded initiative that aims to raise awareness and funds in support of and in solidarity with dire global and political currents.
