Abstract: The nongovernmental organisation Snaga Žene, which means ‘the power of woman’, provides psychological, social, medical, educational and legal assistance to refugee women who have returned to Srebrenica after the massacre in 2002, which claimed the lives of their husbands, sons and/or brothers. Snaga Žene has developed a multidimensional, ecological model that includes five important aspects in the lives of every person: 1) psychological health; 2) social aspect and position within the wider social community; 3) health and health care; 4) legal rights; and 5) economic wellbeing, as well as employment and income. Women's groups support their participants in establishing psychological balance, strengthening family ties and ties within the society, improving their economic situation and their efforts to better fit into daily social events. This historical concept, truth telling, fact finding, bottom-up approach has led to the respect of women from both national groups. Therefore, this can serve as a good example for reconciliation and restoration of trust for other post conflict societies. The women have created strong bonds, often through great mutual losses, mutual experience of trauma, mutual regional belonging and shared traditional values.
