In New York City, the exhibition titled “A Crying Woman: Women and War” by the well-known photojournalist Marissa Roth, which treats the topic of violence and rape as tools of war, opened on Tuesday. A large part of the exposed photos, the American journalist took in Kosovo.

In an interview, Pulitzer Prize winner talks about the difficulties and mission of her project. Present at the opening of the exhibition were also survivors of the war in Kosovo, Vasfije Kransiqi-Goodman and Besarta Jashari.

For 38 years, Pulitzer Prize-winning American photojournalist Marissa Roth has photographed women surviving war crimes around the world, bringing with them the harrowing stories of these women.

Some of her photographs were displayed in Roosevelt’s building in New York, as part of an exhibition by the Museum of Tolerance at the Simon Wiesenthal Center and the Rally for Her Justice organization.

Many of the photographs in the exhibition entitled “A Woman Crying: Women and War” were taken in Kosovo.

“I have seen things I wish I had never seen, but I can not erase them from my memory. I try to get involved with my heart and then tell and retell these stories. They make me sad but I feel that through these stories I can tell the world what happened. This is my way of showing how strong and courageous these women are. I say that I am a peace activist and that this is my way of saying that enough is enough,” said Roth.

The exhibition will remain open to the public until June 22.
