«The helpline for psychological and legal assistance from the Human Rights Vector NGO» began operating on April 12, 2022 as a reaction to the consequences of the full-scale invasion by the Russian Federation on the territory of Ukraine. In the initial stages, it was called “Psychological and Legal Support Available for People with Disabilities in Wartime”, which reflected our main target audience. Later, responding to the requests we received, we expanded the circle of people to whom we provide assistance, because the number of war victims is, unfortunately, increasing every day. You can learn more about our helpline on our website in the «News» section: hrvector.org/en/events/

 

This conference is organized by the NGO “Human Rights Vector” within the framework of the project “Psychological and legal assistance to respond to and mitigate the impact of the war in Ukraine”. The project benefits from support through the EaP Civil Society Forum Re-granting Scheme (Eastern Partnership Civil Society Forum) for members, and is funded by the European Union as part of its support to civil society in the region.
