Vasfije Krasniqi Goodman, an outspoken survivor of rape during the Kosovo war, testified at the US House of Representatives’ foreign affairs committee that Washington should do more to hold Serbia accountable for wartime crimes.
Vasfije Krasniqi Goodman, one of the first women in Kosovo to speak publicly about being a wartime rape victim, testified at a US House of Representatives’ foreign affairs committee hearing in Washington DC on Tuesday that the US should push for justice for victims of war crimes.
In highly emotional testimony, Krasniqi Goodman told the committee hearing, entitled ‘Kosovo’s Wartime Victims: The Quest for Justice’, that she was 16 when she was raped by Serbian police in her village in 1999.
“[Afterwards] I cried with no control, begging him to kill me. No, he said, I won’t, because you will suffer more this way. He was right, I have suffered,” she said.
