The dialogue forum will be held at the Osijek Cultural Center
We invite you to the Dialogue Forum "Behind the Front Lines: Invisible Heroines", which is held as part of the accompanying program of the Krunoslav Sukić Peace Award and the project of the same name.
At the forum, we open a space for discussion about the authentic experiences of women in war - life under occupation, participation in armed forces, fear of sexual violence, post-war marginalization, forced labor, challenges of everyday life and various forms of resilience. We want to highlight their contribution to reconciliation, peace work and building a more just society and to encompass a broad perspective of women's war experience, both professional and witness.
The panel will be held on December 8, 2025 at 11:00 a.m. at the Osijek Cultural Center.
Panelists:
- dr. Mirjana Semenić Rutko
- prof. dr. sc. Silvija Ručević
- mag. iur. Veselinka Kastratović
- Lejla Šehić Relić, PM Social Innovation & Management, struč.spec. public administration
- Martina Uglik, peace activist, Youth Peace Group Vukovar
Moderator:
MTh./drs. Julijana Mladenovska Tešija – philosopher and theologian with international education in the field of peace, nonviolence and conflict resolution.

We believe that this dialogue space will stimulate an important and long-needed conversation about women's experiences that have shaped – and continue to shape – our society.
