I have my 77 days of NATO bombing, but I must not let my injury erase the possibility to hear her injury. We need to make space for our pain and hers, and not put ourselves in the victim position, even though we have the experience of being victims. It is all possible. The War Crimes Tribunal and the International Criminal Court recognize the crimes done to people. Workshops promote the recognition process.
Some women talk, others listen.
Hearing the other is not only a process which educates, but also a process which recognizes the Other. The politics of the knowledge of difference is based on listening, hearing, and recognizing. If we also know that the fascism of the Serbian regime brought NATO to the region in the first place, then every act of taking care of ourselves can be interpreted as an anti-fascist act as well. After eight years of wars, nationalism, and fascism, it is clear that fascism relies on producing oblivion, forgetfulness, and the erasure of the Other, as well as on hatred and mistrust of the Other. Fascism relies on falsififying the reality I live in.
