Sažetak
Defining war as the most tragic form of anti- humanism, anti-personalism and anti- culturalism, the authors talk about war crimes of rape as the most difficult form of traumatic experience. The introductory section of the paper presents the crimes and abuses at many levels that are characteristic for every war, including the Croatian War of Independence. Among all forms of traumatic experience, rape is reported as a complex event characterized by extremely negative emotional consequences that leave severe and lasting consequences visible in the everyday life of the traumatized person. The first part of the work talks about life after a traumatic rape event. The second part of the work is largely devoted to the psychosocial consequences that rape victims of war live with today, and the results have been obtained through a survey among victims of war crimes of rape during the Croatian War of Independence in the area of the Đakovo-Osijek Archdiocese. Based on the testimonies, elaborated are the dominant feelings present in victims of war crimes of rape, the mechanisms of confrontation and living with the trauma, and the great difficulties in family and society members' support. The third part particularly emphasizes the consequences of the Greater-Serbian aggression during the Croatian War of Independence in the Đakovo-Osijek Archdiocese.
