During the reporting period, we covered 1871 vulnerable beneficiaries of Odesa region:
Anna is 33 years old. A single mother. Faced with a serious situation of domestic violence. Hanna felt that she depended on her roommate financially and was afraid to leave him, fearing that she would be left without means of livelihood. She often hid the abuse, fearing that no one would believe her or think she was weak. Once, Anna found out about the visit of the mobile brigade, which was conducted by the team of the Multipurpose Assistance project. After much thought, she decided to take part. She talked with the case managers and together they developed an action plan
Hanna also realized that it is impossible to remain silent about violence and that there are special organizations and social workers who are ready to help.
When Anna asked for help, the team of social workers accepted her with understanding and unconditional support. They started working on Anna's case, held meetings with her to listen to her and understand the situation.
At the client's request, social workers went to the address, where they called the police, Hanna wrote a statement, and later the abuser was evicted from her apartment.
Next, the social workers provided Anna with information about the legal aspects of the situation and how to protect her rights and the rights of the child. They helped her get legal help and support.
In addition, the psychologist of the project provided Hanna with psychological support and helped her cope with the trauma she experienced because of the violence.
Thanks to the timely help of the case manager and the team, Hanna was able to free herself from violence and start a new chapter in her life.
