DURING THE GLOBAL COVID-19 PANDEMIC, UNFPA UKRAINE IS TRANSFORMING ITS APPROACHES TO ENSURE THAT NOT A SINGLE SURVIVOR OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IS LEFT ALONE WITH THEIR PROBLEM

Established services continue to function - provide assistance to survivors and ensure the prevention of new domestic violence cases:

- 5 daycare centres specialists provide consultations by phone - 8 shelters accept new clients with mandatory health check - 6 mobile teams of psychosocial support provide assistance to ATO / JFO combatants and their families via Skype, Viber, and telephone.

The National Hotline provides 24/7 counselling for domestic violence survivors. Survivors can also receive assistance via Skype, Facebook Messenger, email and request submitted at the organisation's website.

Our expert team supports the Government of Ukraine in developing an action plan, which aims to ensure the effective prevention and response to domestic violence in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.
