Summary 
An extraordinary first-person account of two women caught in a war where rape was as much an everyday weapon as bullets or bombs. Two inspiring women by the names of Jadranka Cigelj and Nusreta Sivac, both lawyers and childhood friends, enjoyed the lives of "ordinary modern women" in Bosnia-Herzegovina until one day familiar faces and neighbors became tormentors. When taken away to the notorious Serb concentration camp of Omarska, the two women, like other Muslim and Croat women, were systematically tortured and humiliated by their Serbian captors. Once the two were released, the pair turned personal struggles for survival into a larger fight for justice - aiding other women similarly brutalized and successfully lobbying to have rape included in the international lexicon of war crimes by the UN Tribunal at the Hague. Calling the Ghosts is an indispensable resource for deepening understanding of human rights, abuse, and combating violence against women. It is a true testimony of power, justice, and transformation.
