F.K.’s daughter, now 19, is one of the children born as a result of rape during the Kosovo war who do not know the circumstances of their birth. No one knows exactly how many more were born this way, how many were rejected, adopted or raised in orphanages. Our fellows Serbeze Haxhiaj, Hilma Unkic & Sonja Ernst met more women in Kosovo and Bosnia-Herzegovina who were victims of sexual violence during the war in the former Yugoslavia and had a very hard decision to make: reject or keep the baby.

In brief
About the Project
Whether print or Web 3.0, TV, audio or cross-media, whether classical formats or new styles: we support high quality research, international collaboration, and inspiring journalism from reporters passionate to look up close and tell stories that would otherwise remain untold. Twice a year, we award the "Reporters in the Field" grants of up to 8.000 euros to international teams of journalists collaborating on cross-border research on a story of their choice. "Reporters in the Field" grants foster peer learning among professionals, international networking, and nuanced coverage of complex topics relevant to European public spheres. "Reporters in the Field" is a program developed by the Robert Bosch Stiftung and carried out by the media NGO n-ost, which hosts the "Reporters in the Field" program office.
