One of the 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” where 8 men participate has started in Kyiv today. During this educational course the participants will be trained in community activities on counteracting the domestic violence. The training for civil volunteers is targeting male population, especially former combatants and internally displaced persons as an experience of other conflict regions confirms that preventive measures taken by men would be much more efficient regarding the impact on other men than if such activities had been implemented by women. Due to the series of trainings the participants will be able to conduct local information campaigns on prevention and solution to existing domestic violence incidents as a consequence of war. These campaigns will inspire other men to pay attention to this issue and in their turn they will become active participants. During the implementation of information campaigns, we will provide professional and financial support. The trainings will be delivered by experts from North Caucasus of Russia who successfully manage to counteract this issue due to this approach.
