Comprehensive emergency assistance for individuals, households, and communities affected by the war in Ukraine who have the most urgent needs
The assistance is provided by the PO “Green Landia” in cooperation with the Danish Refugee Council (DRC) and with funding from the European Union.
About the Project
This initiative is a comprehensive humanitarian response by the PO “Green Landia” in the Kharkiv region. The project combines two critically important areas: support for women and girls affected by the war (through permanent safe spaces and mobile teams), as well as systematic public awareness campaigns about mine hazards and the risks posed by explosive ordnance (EOH). The project aims to provide direct assistance to vulnerable populations, internally displaced persons (IDPs) evacuated to transit centers, and residents of frontline areas.
The Importance of the Project
As a result of the full-scale war, residents of the Kharkiv region face security and psychological challenges on a daily basis. Women and girls often experience emotional exhaustion, social isolation, and violence, and have limited access to basic services. At the same time, the Kharkiv region is one of the most heavily contaminated areas in Ukraine with landmines and unexploded ordnance, posing a constant threat to civilian lives. This project creates a safe environment for people’s recovery, provides women with tools for personal development and leadership, and teaches vital skills for staying safe in the face of war-related risks.
Task
● Ensure the operation of four stationary Women’s and Girls’ Safe Spaces (WGSS), where confidential psychological, legal, and informational assistance is provided.
● Launch mobile teams to provide case management and psychosocial services in remote and frontline communities.
● Provide free primary and secondary legal aid to survivors of gender-based violence (GBV) or women in at-risk groups.
● Provide vulnerable groups with individual “dignity kits” containing hygiene supplies and items that promote self-reliance (power banks, flashlights).
● Organize specialized transformational programs for women and girls (such as “Women as Agents of Change,” “Women Rise,” and “Girls Shine”) to strengthen their resilience and leadership potential.
● Conduct 600 mine safety awareness sessions (EORE) for children, adults, and women separately, taking into account their daily routes within their communities.Results
