Bosnia's invisible children: Living in dignity | DW Documentary
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 ต.ค. 2019
- During the war in Yugoslavia, thousands of Bosnian women were raped and many became pregnant as a result. But their children are even now not recognized as war victims. The NGO "Forgotten Children of War" aims to change that.
In Bosnia-Herzegovina, they are known as "Nevidljiva djeca"- "invisible children." Their mothers were raped, by enemy soldiers during the war in Yugoslavia - and sometimes also by UN peacekeepers. The Leibniz Institute for Social Sciences estimates that between 2,000 and 4,000 Bosnian children were born after their mothers had been raped during the war. Often marginalized and stigmatized by society, many of these "invisible children" who are now young adults have led miserable lives. Ajna Jusić is the daughter of a Bosnian Muslim woman who was raped by a Croatian soldier during the conflict. For years she knew nothing of her mother’s ordeal. But now her NGO "Forgotten Children of War" wants to bring these "invisible children" together and give them a voice. She says it is a matter of recognition and respect and is pressing the Bosnian government to officially recognize them as war victims.

It is crazy that victims are stigmatized , not the rapists.
bc most of them are hiding in the hills of Serbia protected under the Serbian gov.
It's going on Asian countries still now
That's patriarchy for you! They put all the responsibility on women for the deeds they are part of! Until the recently, children born out of wedlock had no rights in the West. In Asia they are given to the West for adoption. It's just dreadful!
@@sanafizasana4351 Nope , not in most of asia
That is not true, and surely everyone knows that is false, right?
Tell me, isn't it true that rapists are extremely stigmatized, esp if they were known in this case?
Is this a "lie for a good cause" or something?
I'm obviously not justifying it, just pointing out that it is a lie that looks good and wise.
I applaud the father for being this loving and accepting of a child who needed it the most.
That was some of the most wholesome masculinity I've ever seen.
That's a real man
His gentleness, strength and decency were so beautiful.
It shows that we can heal grief with love
He is an angel 👼.
"I finally had someone I could take care of, she gave my life MEANING, I took her to school,..." Now that's a significant statement. A man with fiber, he stuck to his guts.
He said, that without her, my life would be meaningless.
@@lorraine9242 if that’s the case, he needs to seriously reconsider his priorities.
@@thenativist6330 "priorities"
Purpose has the highest priority
@@jaigracejjoy God has the highest priority, then country, then man, then woman, and lastly child.
@@thenativist6330 Lastly Child? Well, I sure hope that you never have one. And what does Man mean? Yourself? Would you really put yourself before your own Child?
"As far as I am concerned, a life without Ajna would be meaningless". What a wonderful human being.
I legit started crying when he said that. He is the exemplar for how all fathers should be but sadly too many aren't.
Brought me to tears...wonderful man,wonderful human.💕
They always find a sucker that works his ass of for them.
Hats off to stepfathers and adoptive families!
Liudmila Brilliantova true.
For they are the true fathers
God bless the father of that young lady. God bless these people in Jesus name Amen
@@ljkljk4694 Bosnians are muslim

100% agreed
he is a real man, strong, loving , hard working, and honest.
A man with a great hart

Eclipse 6344 right.
When Muharem, Alen's adopted father cried, i could feel his soft heart which is full of love and humanity. Bless you.
Agree such a beautiful man.
He is such a good man, God bless him.
Real man
No one is commenting on the foul attitude of their Bosnian peers against these kids. Their neighbors feel free to abuse these kids and their moms.
@@myrtle1234 the foul attitudes led to the civil war so it's not that surprising that the attitude is still present, I'm not condoning the attitude just pointing out the historical starting point. I don't think the war resolved anything in fact it probably makes the division more entrenched.
When the step dad says life would be meaningless without his adoptive daughter… that had me cry so badly. What a man , what a dad
Being a great loving and supportive father takes so much more than DNA.
❤️🥲
Her step-father is such a kind, understanding and loving man, especially considering that he is a war veteran. He loves her more than her own mother. God bless him.
Indeed, Jesus bless him
Her mother loves her, did you not hear her say she thought it would be better (for the child) if she gave her up for adoption. She felt guilty and selfish for wanting to keep her.
He didn't endured the rape. It's really hard to be raped, but to raise the kid out of it!?. It's understandable that she had some issues. If you were raped, maybe you'd understand why it was hard for that woman instead of judging her.
Not true. Both her parents truly love her, thank goodness. It's always lovely to see a man love a child that is not his biological child. He faced a difficult time marrying her mother and making this loving family. But for her mother she had a very difficult life for years before she met him. And of course she was raped and traumatised, she really didn't know if she did the right thing keeping her child in such a hostile society. The truth might have been hidden if she had been adopted and her life would not have had the stigma. But her mother did bring her up even with the bad memories and hardship they faced, you can see she is so proud of her daughter. I am glad for both women that she married such a loving man as their lives were not easy and he has the softness, understanding and faith in them that they were being denied. Having said that he obviously feels that Ajna and her mother complete his life. What a terrible war and what terrible repercussions for so many people.
WAR VETERAN A? . . .
Militarised rape is one of the most disgusting crimes, the fact this was in the 90s is gross, although it does still happen in other countries even now buy the scale of this was shocking. I find it so hard to fathom how rape continues to be a stigma, that a society judges and miss treats survivors instead of embracing them. We are quite a vile species.
People blame victims as it would frighten them to except something like that could happen to them too. They rationalise it as 'I'm a normal person, it cant happen to me'.
UN refuse to categorise this as a war crime 🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡
We are indeed a vile society! These children are 100% blameless as are their mothers. Why must people be so hateful towards those who are different in some way? We are all god’s creatures & deserve, at the very least, respect and understanding. I salute these children who are now trying to change how their societies view their particular situation. They have no reason to be made to feel shame for a crime against their mothers. Life is too short, people. There is no time for hatred and judgements against others. Simply no time for all that negativity! God bless you all. xx
Blame the victim to enable continued rape without consequence for the rapists..
Humans really possess scant redeeming qualities.
Bless this man who adopted Ina...and her traumatized mother.
I hope they all find much peace and live.
Yes I agree. I am disturbed that some American soldiers are guilty of such crimes, while in Iraq and Afghanistan very disturbing 😳
“Rape is the only crime in which the victim becomes the accused”
Not only rapes,it 's ridiculous that even in molest cases, the victims are accused of inviting the perpetrators to commit the acts because of the way the victims were dressed. @))':($"#)##🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Ireland has recently passed a law that allows accused abusers to question their victims in court... Insane!!

If a Bosnian child reads this, remember it's not your mother or your fault. You were born in a difficult time. Love your mother, she chose to keep you. You were born for a reason - make something of your life. Just remember somewhere in the world someone is keeping you in their prayers.
I'm a Bosnian, and I did a summer program in Višegrad few years ago. It was about transitional justice and we got to hear personal stories. We met up with prominent figures in the city: a man for each nationality. They did not agree upon anything about the war, except for one thing. They talked about a woman that was seeking for justice publicly for being raped, because nobody was ever convicted. Višegrad still has a hotel that has kept furniture on which women were raped, and were held prisoners in the hotel. When we asked about more information regarding that, they kept avoding the topic saying how "everybody was murdered at some point" and "everybody has suffered, and now these women talk about these sensitive issues in public, which can only cause more problems". I found it interesting how they liked to brag about and discuss everything, but when it came to women, they preferred to keep silent or say such demeaning and underwhelming things.
It's heartbreaking, really, to be a person that has met two women that survived concentration camps- the women that can't have children today anymore because of the torture they survived. And they never sued anybody. Just like the majority of women. Honor is a big thing in the Balkans still, and for a woman to admit she was raped... many of them don't even tell their husbands, families... it's shameful and people are more afraid of what others will say.
Wow. That’s crazy. The men only sympathized with how the war affected them, but not their own women. Damn. 😒 They spoke freely about their own losses, but the women’s trauma was just an inconvenient burden? That tells me a lot about their own morality regarding sexual abuse, during war time or otherwise.
@Ei Dirst what the fuck are you going on about
@Ei Dirst My people are matriarchal. Rape was traditionally punished by handing the rapist over to his victim and her female relatives. His death was neither quick nor painless. One thing was for certain - he never raped anyone again.
@@allisonshaw9341 who are your people?
Could you please tell me where this camps are located? Its easy to tell stories. I know a lot more stories about increased prices, like for example a liter milk Sold for 50-300 German Mark in those territories, so the prostitution thing was a real issue
I'm here to comment on the father...wow!!! My own father has never accepted me coz I'm a girl. And this MAN , THIS ANGEL loves this girl with no boundaries... WOW WOW

And those rapists are still walking among us in our cities and villiges across the ex-Yu region...
They are not arrested ? So sorry for what happened to Bosnia . I hate those criminals. I want to send my deepest sympathies for that tragedy. Love from Azerbaijan.
Exactly!! Very well said, thank you! If they want us to move on then acknowledge the atrocities of war we had to put up with and live through!
@@Alpine1996 You are right. Also this is not only matter of Bosnians. All the world, all the women should demand justice. What happened there was an insult for the name of woman

Ajna’s dad isn’t her biological father, but he gave her what she needed in life. I cried when he said that raising her gave meaning to his life. 😭 God bless him!!
The stepfathers and adoptive parents are admirable. This gives me hope about humanity
Aina’s father is an exceptional human being. My step dad met my mom when she was 21 and I was 6, he was a monster that took every opportunity to belittle and marginalize me in public. Bless this man for the good he has done for both mother and daughter!
The father is the man! He stepped in when mom was broken from
The trauma, what a man! Respect
Grown man here , reduced to tears. It is appalling enough that men fight wars over women's bodies. The women victims are then ostracized and humiliated for rest of their lives. This is heartbreaking. On the other hand, there is salvation and hope in seeing men like Nusret stepping up and caring for Ajna and her mother. Use of rape as a weapon of war needs to be abolished once for all.
Too bad it isnt. Rape has always been implemented as a weapon of war towards females of the opposing side and always will.
Sorry to say it never will
The first target in all CONFLICT is the canal of life,some culture will never accept her back in the clan(Yazidi) Rape is the most humiliating & vile encounter for centuries,this manly gesture of conquer will be use as act of defiance & ownership .whole village in france was rape & b***
NANKING to tip of africa
Beastly nature of man
May we change 🇨🇦🖤
When the majority of men despise those who rape far more than these victims were despised,
when there are consequence, war rape may stop.
Boi your tears ain’t gonna help these people. Man up boi, maaaan uuuup!
@@user-jn1ts4wl1c have you ever been in war? Of course you haven’t. Stfu
It’s the same story world over,women who are abused ,violated and raped are blamed for the same ,like they allowed it or had power to defend it and refused to do so.The narrative MUST change through proper intervention by adopting a multi sectoral approach.
The multi sectoral approach won't work. What's needed is change in religious books
I was moved to tears 😭 by the adoptive dads, Nusret and Muharrrem.. what big hearts they have, such HUMANITY ❤️❤️❤️ you could even tell from the pictures with little Alen, there is so much ❤️
Hallo mein Schatz . Wie geht‘s Gut?
Wow I have watched a lot of these DW documentaries but this has to be one of the best. What an inspiration Ajna is, but also her stepfather Nusret. See how proud he looked on the day she graduated? That showed who her true father really is. Thanks for bringing this story to the world DW.
Thank you for watching and the positive feedback :)
Btw there is a success story regarding this now! They have managed to pass the law that doesn't require specifically father's name in formulars, you can write the name of any of your parents. Thank you Ajna, Alen and other brave people who keep fighting for better future.
Well done you brave people. May you find peace and have happy and fulfilling lives.
Poklon!
Rape is the most barbaric of human actions. Children born of rape & their mothers need to be respected & honoured for the suffering they have to go through not face any stigma. Thank you for such an informative documentary.
Yes. The victims and the children that came from the rape deserve so much support. It’s not their fault. They don’t deserve the stigma
Was soo touched when I heard the step father say she gave their lives meaning. What an absolute gent hats off to this great man.
The unconditional love on Ajda's stepfather's face made me cry. He looks so proud. God Bless him with good health!
It remembers me of Kurdish women who were victims of sexual assault by ISIS. It broke my heart,💔the only thing is we love our girls when they escape from isis their families open their hearts and homes for them We see them as our heroes 🧡
And that’s how it should be!👏🏻💕
I was also thinking about them it is super painful
I wonder who are these people who have disliked this video 🤔
This was a tremendous story of so many brave beings , hats off to you all , I love you all
same those who did those atrocities during the war or their children.
Most people use the like/dislike buttons to teach the algorithm do they want a certain type of video to see again or not, I personally rarely use either button but that's more or less its purpose

I've been to Bosnia twice, and whoever I met was a nice human being. This is an amazing documentary that reminds us how dignity and character look like. Much respect from Istanbul, to all the victims of the unjust war.
The messed up part, their are people still advocating for wars. The wounds of war never heal, they just fester
when you make money out of war its really easy to promote it :) , emotions aside, if you personally don't kill anyone bud make money out of killing millions, you can sleep well at night. That's how our brain function, for many its just so abstract.
@Timefliesbye my friend don't be to rush to pass that, the Balkan wars have a history going back to the Ottoman's times. For them that was nothing but a continuation of what had already been started the only difference being only the weapons had changed
Balkan wars prior to ww1 did heal and countries like sebia vs bulgaria dont have a wish to fight. I think these ex yugoslav wars keep happening because of every side thinking they can get more then they have now in terms of land. Honestly its hard to understsnd. Sjebani smo buraz lol
The worst messed up part is that Islam has a big foot in Europe cause of Islam in Bosnia that should not be there to begin with. Ottomans were evil to bring it.
Jesus loves the people but hates the Allah/Satan worship and Will crush it.
Flee Islam while there is time.

Great comment!!!❤✌
Your intention is good, but heaven or hell aren't based on our good deeds but whether or not we believe in Jesus Christ.
Vaša je namjera dobra, ali nebo ili pakao se ne temelje na našim dobrim djelima, već vjerujemo li u Isusa Krista ili ne.
Ваша намера је добра, али небо или пакао се не заснивају на нашим добрим делима, већ да ли верујемо у Исуса Христа или не.
RomanianMadLad so I can kill, rape and steal but if I believe in Jesus I will still go to heaven? Do you really find this logical and above all fair?
@@Alpha-xt6ow Well, someone who really believes in Jesus won't do this things. 1 John 4:20 If someone says, “I love God,” but hates a fellow believer, that person is a liar; for if we don’t love people we can see, how can we love God, whom we cannot see?
Or 1 Timothy 5:8 But those who won’t care for their relatives, especially those in their own household, have denied the true faith. Such people are worse than unbelievers.
Guess what Mr.Religious christian...?Muslims believe that you're wrong!!!
Discusting how victims of rape are treated. People should be ashamed, very ashamed of how different rapists and victims are treated. Society has to stop hating women and the best thing to do is by women supporting women.
Those are some top tier dads. Great humans

Ajna looks like her step father. And he truly loves her like his own daughter. Amazing! Not every step parent can love a child that's not his/her own.
cant the father adopt ajna and amend the birth certificate, "life would be meaningless without her" - beautiful loving father

We are Muslim you should put your father name not your stepfather or another man. just your biological father and if you raise a child that is not yours when he or she grows up you should tell him the truth about where they are come from.
The perpetrators are tolerated and given shelter but the victims suffer.
I really cried for the Love this gentleman had for the child left behind in the hospital. A real fathers love brings him to tears thinking of his own children and how they reacted to him being adopted by another family.May god bless them for the LOVE they showed to an abandoned child.

@@bgggsht Rather have them pay for their victims for the rest of their lives
What's crazy is that many of the rape victims already know exactly who raped them - their full names, where they live. Sometimes victims have seen them walking around in the shops etc because it was often perpetrated by other villagers they knew before - their own neighbours that turned against them at the start of the war, who now walk around freely and sleep peacefully at night without any remorse for what they did to these people. It's chilling.

Eina's step father is absolutely beautiful. You can tell he loves her like his own, what a really lovely man. Obviously her mother is still working through her issues. The young nurse's adopted father was lovely also. It makes me mad beyond measure as to why these beautiful children and women are blamed for this atrocious act that was perpetrated upon them in a time of war. I know it's a cultural thing, but everything evolves, Eina's step father did after all. There should be no shame in these people's lives except in the dirty, stinking pig of ....thing that raped the mothers in the first place. Where is theri shame in all of this? Where is there punishment? Oh no, it's the women's fault for standing there being a woman in war times. Yep. This is happening now, as we speak in other countries.
Well said!
Yes precisely, it's happening in Ethiopia right now at the same scale
All of those conceived of war rape deserve love, respect and acceptance from all of the community.
Such an emotional documentary. Im rooting for you anja! The step dads featured were such good hearted fathers.
Nice bangs

You know Ajna, it doesnt matter how you came to this world. It matters how you live on it
The former soldier needed the child and mother as they need him. Together they live on to find their own little happiness in life.
The adoptive father is the kind of human being we need more in this world. He’s got a bigger heart than the mom in my humble opinion.
How about they're both great people who've stepped up for their daughter and showered her with love when nobody else would?

I am from Bosnia and was born just before the war. I am a little torn about this documentary because it paints a picture of Bosnian people as a whole ( society at large ) discriminating against these children. There are people that would discriminate and others who would want to help ( like those wonderfull men ). I don't know any Bosnian people who would treat them badly because of the situation they were born into. Having said that the way things are set up legally- that sounds incredibly painful and problematic. Unforunately these things take time to change and at least half the population is still traumatized from the war. These things sometimes take generations to heal. I wish both of them all the best, and hope they remember that there are fellow Bosnians who do support them.
Sending love to my Bosnian brothers and sisters who faced all this trauma
I always shed tears whenever am watching such videos. Humanity is better when we stand with one another!
Ina is incredible, confident, strong and determined, so much respect and support from Scotland.
I remember this time in history the Bosnia crisis, it shook me as a young Canadian woman to know that Bosnian woman were devastated by rape in a war they did not ask for. And now their precious children are left to suffer. Shame on the Bosnian government for not stepping up, hunting down and bringing to justice the paracitical men that committed these war crimes.
I was 19 years old lying in a hospital bed, giving birth to my first child, a daughter, in 1998. I saw the mothers of these children giving birth in camps on the frozen ground . I cried then, and now seeing these children facing the trauma surrounding their births and discrimination, I’m SO outraged and saddened all over again.
1998 war was over?!?
My mother was born in SFRJ (Yugoslavia) in the 1950's. Her birth certificate doesn't list a father; just a note that she was a child born out of wedlock. If listing both parents wasn't a requirement back then...why was it required now?
Also, if the victim is fully aware of the name and whereabouts of the war criminal, why isn't justice being pursued? The rapists do not deserve to live a life of normality; they need to have their world torn apart and suffer the pain that these young victims endured.
You are both right!
This is very interesting.. There is also a lot of this perverse mockery in Mostar!
did you catch how many rapes have been committed? 20 to 50k! now imagine how many indictments, courts, lawyers etc. it needs to prosicute just a part of those. unfortunately for Bosnia, that was and still is mission impossible.
Oh what a great man, husband and father! His tearful words about how the life without his step daughter would be MEANINGLESS were so touching! I also understand the mother's words and plight, as well as the daughter's s. They all have their own devastating perception of events and their feelings are 100% valid. Great video!
This video is so important. 1st such video I've seen which tells about rights of these children who suffer discrimination for no mistake of theirs... Thank you for making documentary on this topic..
With Love, from 🇮🇳
I am Macedonian and I am really sorry to hear this things.
For the first story I cannot believe that the mother is still thinking that it was better to leave her daughter after all this time and her stepfather loves her so much so heartbreaking.
I am happy that she will be safe with her stepfather.
And for the another children 👶 I am happy that they are with lovely families and safe now …
Beautiful heart-wrenching film, I wish the children, their family, and their mothers all the best. the women were put in impossible situations. it is sad to see the result of war, ethnonationalism, and demagoguery. thanks to DW for distributing the film, but I wish it had included a closed caption for those who are hard of hearing (as it stands they have to rely on google's auto-generated CC.
p.s. I hope someone deletes the bigoted comments
I hope these children find a loving partner and spouses to have a good life with. This is so sad. Bosnian government should be more understanding of these children. These children are war victims
Thank you for sharing this documentary. These issues are also in most or every Asian country...sri lankan women were raped by the Indian army when they went through the tamil tiger wars in 1980's and no one has spoken or looked after these woemn or kids.
Kosovand suffered from this war in Bosnia as well along with the rest....my heart and soul goes out to each and every woman in this path ....its not called shame..its Bravery and you have overcome the people who tried to put you to shame!
great respect for Nusrat and Muharrm, they are truly the real men.
Invisible children? I see beautiful humans who digging inside their past like they will live 1000 years, you are survives and I am proud on your mothers and you all, you are not invisible, you are the most beautiful humans, you are live and have future, be strong stay strong, you are amazing Han beings
A salute plus 👍 for these children and people who made this documentary.
When the doctor started crying I cried 😭
Massive respect to Ajna brave girl.
Why is she brave?
@@thenativist6330 Honestly, if I would know that I'm a child of rape, I would definetly kill myself. She is a brave soul, that knows that this is NOT her fault at all.
This is heartrending! And, unbelievable what these children are STILL going through. Where’s compassion, love and understanding? I truly hope they get the right people around them to strengthen their worth and preciousness. Sending good wishes and positivism from Scotland 🏴 Bless you ALL sincerely, brothers and sisters of the global family! 🙏♥️🌍🕊🕊🕊🕊♥️♥️
Islamically he did a very noble and dignified thing. God bless Mr Nusret and may Aina find peace in her life.
Tarik Hodzic who cares
@Tarik Hodzic
Muslims in Bosnia are Serbs who converted to Islam during Ottoman Empire.
Your ancestors were Serbs, Tarik. You are SERB regardless of your religion.
@@elyakimaharon1515 ....and your people were idol worshippers from the Caucus region before you decided you are suddenly "semitic"
@@elyakimaharon1515 Did that tell you your facist leaders that all rot in jail rn.
This is very precious documentary. People who rape and people who mock persons born from that deed should be severely punished financially and physically.
Thank you for making such an important documentary. My heart goes out to all the victims. Please keep on making such documentaries. Good luck to all people working to help the victims.
Ajna's stepfather, the father in fact, has all my respect as a human being. Takes a big heart to do what he did. Love the guy! 👏
The Balkan is such a beautiful region of the world, such beautiful people with such rich linguistic heritage. The culture, the history, the food, the architecture! The conflicts that followed the break down of Yugoslavia brought such heartaches and wounds. Let's hope with time and pressures for political changes there'll be some healing. And much love to these children. I'm not surprised that the blunt of the stigma fall on the victim and not the perpetrators. It's unfair, uncaring and illogical, but not uncommon unfortunately. A part of my family scorned my birth and openly rejected me for years because of what I represented. So I whole-heartedly sympathize with those kids
Shout out to all the adoptive and step parents. Being the parent figures that kids need. ❤️👍🏿
i live in america but was born in sarajevo and immigrated in 1998 during the war. incredible documentary. i know so little about my country. really hope that the victims get the exposure and light they need on this issue to get some sort of positive outcome from it.
