Why do children stay silent — even when dozens of “responsible” adults are around?
In Dnipro, a long-term torture of six children in a family-type orphanage (DBST) has been exposed. According to the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Prosecutor's Office and police , the children lived for years in an atmosphere of fear, physical pain, and systemic humiliation. The facts, published in the materials of " Ukrainska Pravda " , are shocking: this was not a single outburst of anger, but a pattern of violence built up over years. However, it is important to understand

Deinstitutionalization Reform: Why “walls” will no longer receive money, and communities must overcome the “bureaucrat syndrome”
Ukraine is on the threshold of historic changes. The issue of joining the EU is not only about customs or borders. It is, first of all, about how the state treats the most vulnerable - children. Today, the deinstitutionalization (DI) reform has become one of the key conditions for European integration. Tough EU conditionality: Ukraine Facility and the Child Rights Strategy The European Union has clearly articulated its position in the Strategy for the Rights of the Child (202

4 years since the full-scale invasion. 12 years of Russian aggression against Ukraine.
Today marks four years since the start of the full-scale invasion. And twelve years of Russia's war against Ukraine. Yesterday the team worked on the topic of evacuation. It has been with us all these years. We ourselves went through evacuation in 2014. We evacuated thousands of people and are now accompanying families who are forced to leave their homes due to hostilities. Evacuation is not a one-time action, but a process: preparation, coordination, security, support after

Vyedrintseva and other v. Ukraine
Several years ago in Dnipro, a young woman — the mother of three children — died. The official cause of death was a heart attack. At the same time, her body showed more than 70 bruises, neighbors repeatedly called the police because of beatings, and the children were witnessing violence every day. The case was closed seven times — and each time the decisions to terminate the criminal proceedings were overturned. Thanks to the work of Yuliia Seheda, Head of the Legal Departmen

MARTIN-club launched a mobile invincibility point for disabled residents of Dnipro
In conditions of blackouts, people who cannot quickly or independently reach stationary assistance points remain particularly vulnerable. That is why a mobile invincibility point has been launched in Dnipro - a format that allows providing support directly near the place of residence. The mobile point is primarily aimed at residents with limited mobility, the elderly, families with children, and those who, due to health or household restrictions, cannot move around the city d

She fled another country with her 14-year-old son, fleeing a husband who was psychologically, economically, and physically abusive to her.
She fled another country with her 14-year-old son, fleeing from a husband who had been psychologically, economically, and physically abusive to her. She had endured years of humiliation: her husband controlled her money and even her food, was aggressive when drunk, and after fleeing, kept calling her for a long time to break her down. Loneliness, debt, depression, and insomnia became a daily reality. She tried to maintain a normal life for her son—school, belongings, food—but
