ICMP partially supported the large Srebrenica Heroines project that enabled women associations of missing persons to be officially and directly included and predominately highlighted during the 27th Srebrenica commemoration. The Srebrenica Heroines project included women associations in all stages of project development and implementation giving them complete ownership over the narratives and topics discussed. The project also included the art installation “Mothers Scarf”. The scarves and shawls are not mere pieces of fabric. They are a symbol of resistance that represents the relentless battle for truth and justice carried out by the Mothers of Srebrenica for the last 27 years. The knots tying the scarves and shawls symbolise togetherness. They emphasise the solidarity between women in the face of egregious human rights violations. The thousands of scarves collected are a testament to the wide network of support knitted by the Mothers on their journey for justice.
