WHAT IS MISSING? The very question
of asking “What is missing?” portrays the invisibility of Females
Danica Anderson, MA,
Certified Clinical Criminal Justice Specialist, Forensic Psychotherapist and
Trauma Expert presents for the online conference “As One; I Am My Sister's
Keeper Conference” presenting on the invisible gender: females http://www.weavingtheculture.com/.
Visibility for Females are: 1) only when it is cataclysmic in violence and
death and; 2) she faces the dwindling resources allocated for priorities or
policies such as war, the cause or patriotic venues and; 3) her mothering,
labors and value are taken for granted and usually do not merit a pay scale
becoming the base of global economies.

Treatment of trauma, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is rarely funded or
attended to – especially for women. The Kolo Trauma Treatment www.kolocollaboration.org
invites in healing by having her visible, having her first person story shared
avoiding the danger of a single story. The danger of a single story is how the
Female Victim competes for more readers, Twitter and Media in direct
measurement to her dire state and status. Visibility in sharing first person
stories creates an environment where the victims-most often females- are
allowed vulnerability while etching a social community from which to speak of
their memories.
The Kolo: Women’s Cross Cultural Collaboration presented at York University’s
“Mothering and the Environment,” November 2009) discussing the Bosnian Muslim
women war and war crimes survivors on topics of severe trauma/Post Traumatic
Stress Disorder, Diaspora, Trafficking and Economic/poverty conditions in the
aftermath of war. Attending the embedded (M) Other World is Possible: Two
Feminist Visions, Matriarchal Studies and the Gift Economy conference October
22-25, 2009 at York University, Toronto, the Kolo: WCCC was provided more
insights by Genevieve Vaughan, author/researcher of the gift economy http://www.motherworldconference.org/paper_ge.html
The essence of the gift Economy can be summed up as, “If we can show
that mothering is not just instinct, or slavery or mindless drudgery, but the
practice of a human principle, a logic, that permeates the rest of society, we
can liberate it as a great social force, as well as an interpretative key for
understanding many aspects of life in a different way.”
In the aftermath of the third war in one century for Bosnia, the displacement
which followed the wars/conflict/violence disasters has made women and girls
particularly vulnerable to: economic/poverty conditions violating their human
rights, diaspora; trafficking. The conditions in the aftermath of conflict are
intensified and can be just as forceful during the conflict/wars maintaining an
environment of uncertainty, disrupt family ties, and loss of livelihoods. While
in emergency situations, priority attention is placed on providing disaster
relief and humanitarian assistance to the hundreds of thousands of severely
affected people of which statics and research has shown to be mostly women and
children.
There is no program, policy by humanitarian helping aid giants/conglomerate)
that provide engendered trauma treatment, training, attend to female second
class status, repair the lethal lack of legal rule of law or protection, let
alone a educational series to describe female human rights. The current
International Criminal Court attends to miniscule repair of the lack of legal
protection and is the only rule of law globally listing numerous war crimes
against her female sex. The Kolo: Women’s Cross Culture Collaboration provides
trauma treatment and training curriculum in the aftermath
