At the age of 15, Mirnesa Junuzovic from the small city of Kakanj in Bosnia, is believed to be her country’s youngest trainer of fighting bulls.

Junuzovic is among a small cadre of women who in recent years have entered the field traditionally reserved for men to train the beasts for widely popular, bloodless bull-on-bull fights that have been organized in the country for more than two centuries.
