  • Skenderaj in Kosovo is the most destroyed area from the war. The war started in this region and it ended here. It has had the majority of numbers of civilian killings and some villages like Meje have no men left: there are only widows with their children.<br />
Nowadays, the situation of the widows looks even more perilous after international organisations are slowly moved from the Balkans. Some of the widows live in homes that were slowly being rebuilt with the aid of international aid organizations but now left half built. Many of the widows are still homeless. The luckier ones take shelter with relatives but many live in very devastating conditions: in tiny rooms with a little stove, mattress on the floor to sleep and to sit on.

They make you feel as if you are lying to be able to get on a higher priority band. But they should come and live the overcrowding. They just don't care." Alison.

  • The majority of refugees that arrive in the Uk are offered provisional housing, vouchers to buy food and are not allowed to seek employment.  This situation meant to be temporary often takes years to settle.  Many kosovan families even after years do not know whether they have their right to stay permanently in the UK.  Refugees see themselves as living in a limbo, unable to look for work and to move freely.  Often the bond between their community is the only attachment that they form, partly because of their common plight and partly because of a need to ascertain their cultural identity.
