Heroinat Memorial
Monumenti Heroinat
A face of women made from more than 20,000 metal discs, honouring women who suffered sexual violence during the Kosovo War. It is deeply moving.
The Heroines Memorial was unveiled in 2015. It was designed by the artist Mehmet Behluli and is made of about 20,000 metal discs that form the face of a woman. The number represents the roughly 20,000 women who suffered sexual violence during the Kosovo War of 1998–1999. It stands in a park beside the Palace of Youth and Sports, only a few dozen metres from the Newborn monument, so the two can be visited together. Open all day and free of charge.
