BBC ALBA’s acclaimed current affairs series, Eòrpa will this week provide a special half hour programme from Bosnia.

Many of the women say that they do not receive enough help and there is disparity with how the women are treated according to which part of the country they live in.
The Bosnian Government is now considering a law which would aim to provide uniform support for rape victims across the country.
Eòrpa will provide an exclusive insight into these crimes through interviews with some of the women affected. Eòrpa will be broadcast on Wednesday 10 March at 8.30pm, in Gaelic with English subtitles.
