The Whistleblower. Kathryn Bolkovac1100 руб
Good money, world travel, and the chance to help rebuild a war-torn country sounded like the perfect job. When Nebraska police officer and divorced mother of three Kathryn Bolkovac saw a recruiting announcement for private military contractor DynCorp International, she applied and was hired. She was assigned as a human rights investigator, heading the gender affairs unit. Bolkovac was shipped out to Bosnia, where DynCorp had been contracted to support the UN peacekeeping mission. At great risk to her personal safety, she began to unravel the ugly truth about officers involved in human trafficking and forced prostitution and their connections to private mercenary contractors, the UN, and the U.S. State Department. The lack of proper training provided sounded the first alarm bell, but once she arrived in Sarajevo, she found out that things were a lot worse. Thanks to the evidence she collected, she won a lawsuit against DynCorp, finally exposing them for what they had done. After bringing this evidence to light, Bolkovac was demoted, felt threatened with bodily harm, was fired, and ultimately forced to flee the country under cover of darkness - bringing the incriminating documents with her. 2011. This is her story and the story of the women she helped achieve justice for. |
