"Zatyshno Space" is a special project aimed at supporting women and girls who have fled the occupied territories, war zones, or areas that are unsafe to live in due to increased enemy air attacks. The project exists in the form of a network of safe spaces in six cities of Ukraine. This initiative was launched in 2024 by the East SOS Charitable Foundation in partnership with the American Bar Association Rule of Law Initiative (ABA ROLI Ukraine) and the international humanitarian organization CARE with the support of the Canadian government. In Kharkiv, Zatyshno Space is located at 11 Gogol Street.
In its substantive work, Zatyshno Space focuses on several humanitarian areas.
First of all, it provides individual psychosocial counseling for women and girls. Development of information materials on the prevention of gender-based violence. Trainings for women and girls with a focus on GBV prevention. Individual and group supervision for staff. Career guidance and professional development trainings for women and girls. Meetings of women and girls with representatives of local NGOs.
One such organization was the NGO "Volunteer - 68".
Even if the citizens of our country did not suffer from military threats and hardships, knowledge of how to help and maybe even save a person's life is always relevant for anyone. And the first aid trainers of the "Volunteer - 68" NGO are always ready to share this knowledge with anyone.
And not only that. At Zatyshno Space, our volunteers conducted a full-fledged several-day training with practical exercises. The IDPs learned about the basic actions and measures aimed at saving lives and preserving the health of a person in an emergency, which should be taken to minimize the consequences of such a condition.
