Hi Jill and Chris,
It's great to see you and STAR Network here! One of the things I like most about this network program is its focuses on building civil society capacity and women's empowerment, i.e. prevention and root causes.
Perhaps you could introduce to the readers some specific projects and their impact to prevent Balkan women from being trafficked.
Also, I'm curious to learn how you connect these women, especially when 10 years ago, they did not live in peace. I think this is a remarkable achievement for you, and for these women, to overcome historical burdens and work together to combat trafficking.
I look forward to your response.
