Alice Achan started a school for survivors of sexual abuse in Uganda. She began by helping young girls who had been kidnapped and raped by the Lord's Resistance Army during the 1980s and '90s.

Alice Achan set up schools with childcare facilities to help those girls restart their lives.

Damir Imamovic is a Bosnian musician who is reviving traditional love songs known as Sevdah for a contemporary audience. He is following in the footsteps of his father and grandfather who were also Sevdah singers.
