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 during power outages. The visits reduce the burden on people and provide access to basic things: recharging communication devices, hot water, and basic support. In coordination with the municipal institution "Dotyk", the mobile point of invincibility of the NGO MARTIN-club goes to places where, due to the lack of electricity, residents are left without basic opportunities: to recharge their phones, contact their relatives, get hot water. Coordination allows integrating this format into the general system of city support during crisis situations. The first visit took place at 27 Berezinska Street. 18 people received assistance, including 11 women and 7 men. Special attention in this format is paid to houses with electric stoves - during long-term outages, this is where household difficulties arise most quickly. The mobile point allows you to partially cover these needs without the need to move people to stationary locations. Practice has shown interest from condominium associations: building heads are ready to join in coordinating and informing residents. In the future, it is planned to announce visits through building chats with a clear indication of the address and visual identification of the car, so that residents understand in advance where and when the service will be available. The mobile invincibility point is seen as a practical tool for cities that live in an unstable energy supply regime - a service that complements stationary points and makes it possible to support people where they live.

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 there was not enough money and no support. It was then that a friend advised her to contact the “Your Space” NGO MARTIN-club. She wrote a message on Instagram — and the very next day she found herself in a consultation with a psychologist. This was the first step towards recovery: she heard there the important phrase “you are not alone,” which gave her the strength not to give up. From that moment on, her life began to change. Week after week, she worked with a psychologist, learning to feel the ground under her feet again. Later, a lawyer joined the work, who helped prepare and file divorce documents. The case manager provided support in obtaining social assistance, thanks to which she managed to cover legal costs. The woman took part in the training “Strong in Spirit: The Path to Recovery and Development” from the MARTIN Club, where she was able to reboot: through yoga practices and therapeutic exercises with drums, she got rid of aggression and fatigue and, for the first time in a long time, slept through the night. This was a real victory for her, because insomnia had been draining her of strength for years. For her, it was like a miracle: sleep restored her strength, and there were women with similar stories nearby who understood her without words. She felt that she was no longer alone in her struggle. Thanks to comprehensive assistance, the woman was able to emerge from a state of deep crisis. She realized that she had the right to protection and a new life. Her words revealed hope and confidence in the future. She was able to reconnect with her sister after a three-year break, which was another important step towards stability. Although the legal process is ongoing and there are still issues of child support ahead, she now has a strong support system. She is most grateful for the sense of community: the words "you are not alone" were a turning point for her, saving her from despair. Today, this woman is confidently moving forward, working on her mental health, and believing that her future and that of her son will be safe and happy. "Your Space" is a place where women who have experienced violence can take the first step towards recovery. Here they find safety, support, and new opportunities. The project to assist victims of gender-based violence is implemented by the NGO MARTIN-club with the support of the international organization Norwegian People's Aid within the framework of the "Comprehensive Approach to Crisis Response: Mine Action, Prevention and Response to Gender-Based Violence, and Support for Livelihoods in Ukraine."

The Patrol Police Department in the Dnipropetrovsk region and the NGO MARTIN-club held a working meeting dedicated to deepening cooperation in the field of preventing and combating domestic and sexual violence, as well as strengthening comprehensive assistance to victims. On the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the patrol police in Ukraine, the program director of the MARTIN Club, Yan Borodin, presented a letter of gratitude to Andriy Kalyuzhny, head of the Patrol Police Department in the Dnipropetrovsk region, for systematic and coordinated interaction and contribution to the protection of human rights. For the second year in a row, MARTIN-club has been implementing a training project for entities working in the field of combating violence. During this time, 30 patrol police officers participated in the training together with other response entities . The program covers legal and psychological aspects of response, current changes in legislation, judicial practice, features of working with victims and preparation of procedural documents. Cooperation also takes place in daily work: in the event of calls regarding domestic violence, patrol officers involve mobile teams of socio-psychological assistance from the NGO MARTIN-club to protect the victim, provide first psychological aid, and organize further support. Following the meeting, the parties agreed to strengthen operational interaction between patrol crews and mobile teams through clear communication algorithms and exchange of contacts of officers on duty; to introduce regular joint training and supervision after complex cases, as well as short training modules for new police officers; to join efforts in educational work with communities on algorithms of actions in case of domestic violence, in particular within the framework of the international campaign "16 Days Against Violence". All efforts are aimed at ensuring that assistance to victims is not spot-on, but comprehensive - so that a person receives support at all stages and at the same time feels respected, safe, and dignified.
