From the beginning of April to the end of May, in six different regions of Ukraine seven information campaigns will be conducted to prevent domestic violence caused by the consequences of the war. These information campaigns are aimed at encouraging the awareness of the problem of domestic violence at the local level and motivating men to reflect and change their own behavior patterns. In addition, with the help of campaigns, male adherents will be sought to further reduce and prevent cases of domestic violence as a consequence of the war in the East of Ukraine.
The projects are being implemented by participants in our series of trainings “From rehabilitation to education and practice of counteracting the critical growth of domestic violence as a consequence of the armed conflict in the east of Ukraine”, together with the like-minded people, who came around due to seminars held during the first phase of the project.
Currently, six out of seven information campaigns in six different regions of Ukraine are launched: “Men Against Violence” in Dnipro, “Men Do Not Batter” in Kharkiv, “World Without War Is a Home Without Violence” in Severodonetsk, “Man Is a Winner in His Family” in Odesa, “SFP Against Domestic Violence” in Kyiv and “ATO Veteran is the Defender of His Family” in Cherkassy.
As a part of the information campaigns, online initiatives (in the format, for example, of short videos), as well as actual events such as press conferences, round table, flash mobs, seminars, etc. are planned. Only a combination of online and offline elements will effectively and widely spread information on such an exciting topic.
