Krasniqi, a Kosovo Albanian, was 16 years old when she was abducted from her village and raped by two Serb police officers. She became a symbol for the fight against wartime sexual violence when she fought to bring her rapists to justice. Krasniqi has since returned to Kosovo and become a member of parliament.
"I'm honored to visit Israel and show my support for the survivors of Hamas' crimes," she said ahead of her visit. It is appalling that the international community turned its back on Israeli victims. I hoped we had come a way since Kosovo and was devastated to witness such apathy, ignorance and insensitivity."
