Key Activities

Within this program area, AUCO Convictus Ukraine implements a comprehensive support program aimed at preventing gender-based violence and strengthening the protection of women and girls from vulnerable groups.

The program combines awareness-raising activities, individual support for survivors, and psychosocial assistance. Particular attention is given to creating a safe environment where women and girls can access essential services and support.
