Radio Svoboda: about decentralization, about “Ukrainian kulaks”

The Mariupol Women’s Association Bereginya continues its work with women who find themselves in difficult life circumstances or suffer from domestic violence. We work on the ground – in villages located on the demarcation line, we also provide assistance and consultations by phone, online and in the office.

Cases of violence cannot be silenced – this is the main message that we carry during the meetings, seminars, trainings and webinars that we hold for women and girls. Violence can and should be fought.

It is important for women and girls to know that they are not alone with their troubles, that there is someone to lend them a helping hand. After all, it is very difficult to dare to tell someone about your pain. It’s hard to start acting, especially when you don’t know where to start, who to turn to. Our lawyers provide full support to women and girls who need help. Counseling by psychologists is also important, during which women can find a resource in themselves that will help overcome the problem that prevents them from living a full life. And the consultations of our doctor in some settlements are the only source of medical assistance, due to the lack of medical centers there.
