Ivana Bodrožić

Ivana Bodrožić is a Croatian writer and poet, born in Vukovar, whose work often reflects her personal experiences and the historical trauma of her hometown. Her father was killed during the siege of Vukovar, which profoundly influences her writing and her advocacy for the victims of war. Recently, she gained attention for a poignant social media post in which she speaks on behalf of the victims, criticizing the way their suffering is rehashed every year during memorial observances, arguing that it strips them of dignity and identity.
