She has been a member of the association \u201c\u017dene Srebrenice\u201d since 1996, and an active member of the women\u2019s peace group \u201c\u017dene u crnom\u201d since 2003. She is a peace activist. Before the war, Rejha lived with her family in Bratunac. For a while, they had lived in Germany, so that they were well off. When the war started, she did not go to Germany, because she believed that everything would end fast. Unfortunately, at the beginning of the war, her town was attacked, and she was forced to flee with her husband and her minor children through the woods to Srebrenica. When Srebrenica fell, she managed to escape with her children to Tuzla, but her husband disappeared. The family Avdi\u0107, Rejha and her five children, are still searching for their husband and father. Rejha started a new life in Tuzla \u2013 she renovated a house, put her children through school and she became actively involved in the activities of the association \u201c\u017dene Srebrenice\u201d and \u201c\u017dene u crnom\u201d. She also started following the trial of the members of the paramilitary unit the Scorpions, which lasted for two years. She also participated in \u201cWomen\u2019s Court\u201d, a feminist approach to justice, as a witness. Although the participation in trials is a painful and traumatic process given her life story, Rejha does not give up. She engages, so the voice of victims can be heard and victims can find the truth they are searching for. Her wish is to find her missing husband and to bury him in a dignified manner, so that she and her children can also find closure.Rejha Avdi\u0107 is surrounded by her children and grandchildren today. She believes that she will remain a peace activist as long as she is alive and healthy \u2013 because she likes to talk about her life, but also to hear other person\u2019s life experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cYou first have to listen to each other and understand. And then you have to go further, not stop and spread hatred, but rather love and peace. First, there has to be a basis \u2013 trust and understanding are the most important ones.
