Safe
The story behind the picture: This is from a women’s safe house in Western Kosovo. The founder of the NGO fled during the Kosovo War in 1999 with her two children, aged three and four. She had been told by her neighbors that they had five minutes to pack their belongings. She took two litres of milk and cookies. They escaped to a town in the southern part of the country, and walked the whole night into safety to Albania. In 2002, after her return, she launched a safe house for survivors of gender based violence in her home town. Eighty per cent of which had been completely destroyed during the war.
