Rebecca Hawkins

— Rebecca Hawkins —

Rebecca is a British sculptor whose work has focused on memorialisation honouring victims and survivors of conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV). Her most recent pieces include Petrified Survivors, the world’s first memorial dedicated to all survivors and victims of CRSV, which was created with the input of survivors from over 30 countries, including Bosnia & Herzegovina.

Despite progress, recognition for survivors of wartime sexual violence in Bosnia remains uneven
A permanent memorial would acknowledge them all equally.
