The project is run by the NGO Centre “Women’s Perspectives” with the support of Open Society Foundation
“Woman for woman” is a platform launched by the NGO “Women’s Perspectives” aimed at helping women in crisis. We publish stories from their perspective since no one can tell her story better than the woman herself.
We are enhancing the voice of women in crisis so that their stories could reach those who are able to help.
To help a particular woman you can buy food for her, donate some money or order a service from her. To do this, leave a message for the project coordinator or use donate button. We do not publish women’s contact information on the website to protect their safety and privacy.
I am not a migrant, and I live in Kropyvnytskyi, not the front-line zone. Therefore, I do not expect help from anywhere. I had a heart attack, then a stroke, and now I have crazy high blood pressure. My daughter has a disability and cannot walk. My husband is disabled and has amputated three fingers on his right hand. We only have a disability pension.
I live in Balaklia with my 13-year-old son. He is my only family. My husband – a professional soldier, a rifleman of the Kholodny Yar brigade – died in April 2022. He was awarded the Order "For Courage". But we still haven't received the payments for the death.
I am from Kherson. I, my little daughter, and my mother came under intense shelling on November 24, 2022, at my home. We were all injured but miraculously survived. Then 7 people died and more than 20 were injured, including my neighbors. We pulled out our cat from the ruins of the house and went to Odessa.
I live in Izyum, Kharkiv region. I have 4 children. I am a single mother. We survived 7 months of occupation, hunger and terror. Our house is partially destroyed. A lonely old grandfather put us up. We built a wood stove and it saved us.
I am a migrant from the Kherson region. My mother and I went Odessa in March 2022. We live in a center for immigrants. I am 16. I am 5 months pregnant. I will be a single mother.
I am from Zaporizhzhia region. I lived in the village with my son, worked as a postman. When the full-scale invasion began, our village fell into a war zone. My son and I fled to Zaporizhzhia. And there I was diagnosed with oncology of the lymph nodes. I have been living with chemotherapy and radiation for a year.
