The Women's Peace Project SEKA is a Center for therapy, education and recreation. After 10 years of work on the Adriatic Island of Brac the project moved to the town of Gorazde in Bosnia and Herzegowina in September 2007.

Even 14 years after the end of war through the Dayton-agreement the population in Bosnia and Herzegowina still suffers from the psychological and social consequences of war.
The population of the town of Gorazde is severely war traumatized - people suffered from almost four years lasting siege, shelling, and hunger. Many women and girls suffered from war rape and other cruelties. Children were - as in all wars - the most helpless and vulnerable victims. A big number of them still today are struggling with their experiences in war, as up to now there was no possibility for psychotherapeutic aid in the whole Kanton (department) Goražde.
But also children, having been born after war, grow up in an athmosphere, in which the war and the survived traumas are always present. The traumas of parents and grandparents are transfered to them.

Since September 2007 project SEKA offers (trauma)therapeutic and psycho-educative help for women and children in individual and group work. If necessary and wished also other (male) members of family can be included into work.
From September 2009 on the small SEKA-Team will be supported by a new colleague, Amela Drincic, who will in the first months offer her work as volunteer. She will work with the women - together with therapist Gabriele Mueller.
As we appreciate her voluntary engagement very much we would like to pay her at least a small amount for food-costs..
