Widows of War
The province of Gjacova in Kosovo is one of the most affected by the recent war in the Balkans. It is known for the war starting and ending in this region causing the majority of civilians killings in Kosovo. In some villages, like Meje there are no men left but their widows and children.
The fate of these women is uncertain as international charity organisations are slowly moved from the Balkans. The re-construction process has halted leaving most homes half built and unsuitable to be inhabited. The widows and their children have had to seek shelter with relatives, whilst those that couldn't, live in very devastating conditions.
