In this article, we present, as participants and observers, an analysis of the social and political impact of the 2015 art installation "Mendoj Për Ty" [Thinking of You], dedicated to survivors of wartime sexual violence in Kosovo. We argue that art possesses an extraordinary power to unveil the "public secret" of wartime rape, as well as produce a "reparative" reading of the past, creating solidarity for, and recognition of, survivors, which simultaneously empowers them and their advocates. We also confirm the crucial role of women's networks and subjectivity to the inclusion of women's perspectives for effective transitional justice.

Despite this injustice, research and policy to date lacks AYP's perspectives and active engagement.
