A Voice For the Voiceless

The Advocacy Project helps marginalized communities to tell their story, claim their rights and produce social change. We recruit graduate students to volunteer as Peace Fellows with partners.

The Impact of Service



"I look at myself as having the potential to be as strong and caring as the amazing women I met in Kenya."

Kate Cummings (Tufts University) volunteered in 2009 as a Peace Fellow for Vital Voices in Africa.

Hanija Salihovic











Hanija used to live in Srebrenica and remained in the town throughout the war, until she was expelled with other women and children during the 1995 massacre. Today, Hanija lives outside of Tuzla with her husband. 

Many of Hanija’s male relatives were killed during the Srebrenica massacre. She also lost a home which she has been unable to return to. 

Hanija’s work at BOSFAM is very important to her family. Her income constitutes a large portion of the family’s total earnings.
