In an effort to raise public awareness of the needs of women and children in Bosnia and Herzegovina, VESTA helped organize the KRIK Network - a national association of local radio stations and NGOs.  One of KRIK's first coordinated public advocacy campaigns included 20 municipalities (including Banovići, Travnik, Srebrenica and Bijeljina) and promoted public discourse regarding the human rights of the country's women and children.  The establishment of the KRIK network continues to be valuable for regional and national advocacy efforts.
