With the escalation of the war, by the beginning of 2023, more than 5 million internally displaced persons were officially registered in Ukraine, most of whom are women and children. Every day, a large number of IDPs in need of humanitarian, medical, psychological and social assistance arrive in the Odesa region. For more than a year, we have been continuously providing such assistance to vulnerable population, and we greatly need your support to reach more of those who need our help.
Incidents of violence during the war in Ukraine reached horrific numbers. This issue is so sensitive that it leads to crimes being silenced and victims not receiving proper professional help. The problem of domestic violence has increased, and gender-based violence during war takes on more threatening forms than in peacetime. The most urgent needs of IDP women with children are psychosocial, medical, humanitarian support and reintegration help from experienced social workers and psychologists.
On the basis of our Reintegration Center for women who have suffered from violence, we provide a full range of psychological, legal, medical, humanitarian and social services to meet all urgent needs of women and children. In addition, we provide temporary shelter, food, hygiene, clothing, as well as full case management services in case of need for medical diagnosis and treatment, or recovery of lost documents.
With your help, we will be able to improve the quality of life of Ukrainian women and children who suffered from violence and the negative consequences of the russian war in Ukraine. The whole world has been helping Ukrainians for more than a year, and every day we are getting stronger and believe that we will overcome all obstacles on the way to our victory!
