Bosnian newsoutlet, the Detektor, has interviewed Prof. Inger Skjelsbæk, leader of the EuroWARCHILD project, on her work in and on Bosnia and Herzegovina in the past three decades. War-time rape as long-term consequences, including pregnancy and the birth of children. This aspect is the focus of her work as part of EuroWARCHILD today.

Research shows that war children are a vulnerable group who can be ostracized, hated and stigmatized. Many war children after World War II in Norway have grown up under very difficult conditions, with consequences for their later lives. Inger Skjelsbæk was featured in the podcast “Universitetsplassen” on this matter.
