SEIDA SARIĆ
Seida Sarić was the first-ever Country Director of a Women for Women International country programme, helping to serve nearly 80,000 women in Bosnia and Herzegovina since 1993.
In 2015, Seida led the transition of the Bosnia and Herzegovina Country Office to become Žene za Žene International, a locally registered NGO affiliated to Women for Women International. She is also a survivor of conflict herself: for more than four years, Seida lived under siege in Sarajevo, risking her life on a daily basis to provide emergency services to her fellow citizens trapped in the city.
