When discussing sexual violence in war focus is primarily on survivors and offenders. But there are other actors involved. In the short film Women’s War we make acquaintance with Esther and Mira, two women who fight for the same cause – to help raped women rebuild their life. Esther lives and works in the acute situation in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Mira in Bosnia-Herzergovina with the scars that still remain from the war in Bosnia in the1990s. In this movie, the two women meet to share experiences and discuss how they can support each other’s organizations.

A popular discussion as of late has been to speak of the “Rise of Asia” due to the rapid economic growth we have recently experienced in China, India and Southeast Asia. However, this is evidence of terrible historical research since “The East” has been in the center of international affairs for several millennia with the exception of period of 150 years. This is why our discussion and TEDx event will revolve around the “Return of Asia”. Join us for an evening with inspiring videos of Tedtalks and interesting discussions in an attempt to change the narrow western mindset when thinking of Asia in general and of China in particular.
