Although all these may seem as l’art-pour-l’art issues when compared to mere survival in war zones on two continents and all issues women face under circumstances of displacement and bans on rights to education, healthcare and sounds of their own voices in public, still it is the ongoing fight for rights lost in silence and where one least expects it that has to push every human being to fight for the oppressed and underprivileged. © 2024, Serbia Medical Society.
