Ensuring access to free, safe, and quality services for survivors of violence is one of UNFPA’s core goals.
This mission is especially critical in Ukraine — where during war, the level of violence, including domestic and violence against women, is increasing.
Thanks to gifts from supporters like you, we’re supporting the newly-renovated Daycare Centre for Psychosocial Assistance in Ternopil. The Centre provides a safe and accessible space for survivors to receive comprehensive and free assistance in comfortable conditions, and includes a crisis room for survivors of violence. Additional services we’re supporting at the Centre include:
- counseling with a psychologist and a social worker;
- primary legal assistance;
- information about other organizations and institutions that specialize in violence prevention and countermeasures against violence;
- a social support service aimed at overcoming or minimizing the consequences of domestic and/or other violence.
The lifesaving resources this Centre is providing is just one example of the difference you’re making when you donate to support women and girls living through war in Ukraine and around the world.
But as needs grow, your support ensures they are met. Will you add a donation to help deliver care, resources, and services to the women and girls who need it most around the globe?
“UNFPA has become a reliable partner, providing training for specialists in various fields, ensuring the activity of mobile teams, and offering technical support, which is very necessary and tangible, especially in times of war,” said Serhiy Nadal, Ternopil City Mayor. “We are sincerely grateful to UNFPA and all partners.”
The Centre in Ternopil is just one example of your gift’s impact. When the Kakhovka Dam’s destruction caused extreme floods that displaced entire villages, the UNFPA-supported Survivor Relief Center provided humanitarian aid to survivors and supported evacuation efforts.
Even after weathering the severe impacts of the flooding, the 'VILNA' women-friendly space in Kherson has remained operational to continue assisting evacuees with psychological support — and UNFPA’s mobile teams have remained active through the flooding to help evacuees access essential medical and legal services. Our team continues to distribute dignity kits, which include essential hygiene items for women and girls, in flood-affected areas.
To expand our presence assisting survivors and reach more women and girls displaced by flooding and warfare in Ukraine, we’re counting on gifts from supporters like you.
Donate today to help women and girls impacted by catastrophe and warfare in Ukraine rebuild their lives, regain some stability, and live with dignity even in the darkest of times.
Thank you for being with women and girls, no matter what.
