"Ukrainian humanitarian response, recovery and development program"
We are implementing a project to help victims of gender-based violence with the support of the international organization Norwegian People's AID as part of the "SGBV prevention and response in Ukraine" initiative.
As part of the project, a hotline for help in cases of violence operates . You can get advice and help for victims of gender-based violence in the Dnipropetrovsk region every day from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. by calling 099 632 77 01.
There are crisis rooms in Kamiansk and Pavlohrad . In them, an injured person, for example, a woman or a woman with children, can receive shelter for a period of up to 10 days.
SVIY PROSTIR: A safe space for women operates in Kamiansk . In it, our specialists provide legal and psychological assistance to women who need it, conduct yoga classes, needlework, lectures, etc.
Within the framework of the project, a full range of services is provided to all victims of domestic and gender violence, and if necessary, we accompany the victim to other services of the "MARTIN-club" public organization, which will help her.
"Demand for assistance to victims of domestic and gender-based violence is increasing, including due to full-scale war. Not only local women need help, but also resettled women, as well as military personnel. We provide comprehensive professional assistance. Within the framework of this project, women can receive psychological and legal counseling, legal support. If necessary, we provide a safe place for temporary stay. In addition to this kind of response, the wonderful Svoy Prostir in Kamianskiy operates as part of the project. And, of course, his female visitors will tell about him better than us. But we are proud of the atmosphere that we managed to create and fuel with various activities. We are open, we will listen, help or redirect"

"At first, women and girls liked to attend sports classes more, then we offered to meet a psychologist, attend group classes with her, but due to the stigmatization of self-care, they responded reluctantly to such activities. But over time, we managed to convey that it is not shameful, not scary, there is help here.
No one judges here, everyone tries to help each other. That's why it's very comfortable and peaceful here. This is only a women's space, there are no men here"
