Lara, Women’s centre
The women’s organisation Lara has been active in the region since 1998 and was one of the first groups in the Balkans to draw attention to the increasing problem of trafficking in human beings for the purpose of sexual exploitation. Lara now participates in an international research project on to what extent children become victims of trafficking. Lara runs the magazine Woman, distributed as a supplement to the weekly Panorama. Lara has succeeded to create public opinion against trafficking, which in turn has resulted in that bars and brothels in Bijljina who offered women for sale have had to shut down.

STAR
STAR, an acronym for Strategies, Training, Advocacy and Resources, was created as a network of integrated programs that provided sustained support to a new generation of women leaders who had a vision for inter-ethnic cooperation and peace in the region. STAR Network operated on the premise that local women know what is best for their communities and can be the best organizers for positive social change. Victims became survivors, and then leaders of new civil society initiatives to stop violence in war and at home. They advocated for women's health and human rights, and they empowered women through skill-development in NGO management, democratic political leadership, micro-enterprise management and peacebuilding.
