Since the beginning of the full-scale war, millions of Ukrainians have faced various types of violence committed by Russian servicemen on the territory of Ukraine. The Government of Ukraine, together with international partners and non-governmental organizations, is working tirelessly to help war victims. The Platform for Helping the Rescued was created to consolidate efforts in this area. It is the first online platform with contacts and information about all key services supporting war victims. The online platform aims to facilitate Ukrainians’ access to comprehensive psychological, legal and social assistance provided by state services as well as services created in partnership with public and international organizations. The Platform for Helping the Rescued was created on the initiative of the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration, with the assistance of the Government Commissioner for Gender Policy and the support of UNFPA, the United Nations Population Fund.

We invite the media to the public presentation of the online platform.

The main aspects of the platform and plans for its expansion will be presented. The participants of the event will talk about the mechanisms of response to violence during the war, activities of state services to help the victims, statistics of appeals.
