about

Trigger warning: this album contains graphic accounts of sexual assault and genocide.

An estimated minimum of 800,000 out of less than two-million citizens were made refugees during the Kosovo war— nearly half the country turned homeless, with women systematically subjected to rape by Serbian soldiers in what the UN tribunal later charged as genocide and crimes against humanity.

The War Women of Kosovo collective is composed of women singing publicly and writing songs for the first time ever. Many of them had never left their villages, even to visit the small city ten- minutes drive away. All names and faces have been kept confidential per the artists’ wishes.

All proceeds benefit the women of Kosovo involved in creating this record.
