“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.

Viktoria,

I am a mother of two children: a 4-year-old son and a 2-month-old baby girl. We are currently staying in a social apartment due to abuse from my partner, the children’s father, toward me and my son. Legally, I am still married to another man who is a foreign citizen. Because of this, my newborn daughter is automatically being registered under the foreigner’s surname, while I want her to have mine. While these bureaucratic and legal issues are being resolved, we need help, as I am not receiving any social benefits for the children.

I am a mother of six children, four of whom are still minors (17, 7, 5, and 4 years old). After the birth of our third child together, my civil partner became abusive. He controlled me and the children, took away money, and did not allow me to work, so we lived in complete isolation. Three months ago, he threw me out of the house without the children, but later I managed to take them back. Now we live in a social apartment, but our stay there is coming to an end.We urgently need to find rental housing. We need financial support, spring and summer clothes for the children, and food.

Yaroslava,

I am a mother of 14 children, 9 of whom are minors. My life has been difficult since childhood: my parents abused alcohol, I became an orphan at 16, and already in the 9th grade I started working to survive. Later, I married a man older than me. He drank and abused me, but I stayed with him to raise our children. In 2025, he passed away. Now my children and I live in the house of my elderly mother-in-law in the Chernihiv region. I run a small household: I keep a cow and chickens, work in the garden, and bake bread when I have flour — this is how we survive. We do not have enough money.

Natalia,

I have had a Group I disability since childhood — spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia and coxarthrosis. Over the years, I have undergone many surgeries and treatments and rely on painkillers and medications to manage my condition. I have a daughter and a 5-year-old granddaughter. My daughter helps as much as she can, but we are in critical financial need. I live in a clay house and need bedding, curtains, sheer curtains, and food. I also have a large debt for gas and an unsafe gas stove. I kindly ask compassionate people for help.

Viktoriia,

I fled to another city with my two teenage children to escape my abusive husband. I am now living in a shelter for women who have experienced domestic violence. I work as a cleaner in a minimarket. I suffer from epilepsy and am often hospitalized due to my condition. The day before yesterday, I had another seizure, so I urgently need to undergo examinations, including an MRI and an EEG. However, my salary barely covers food and basic living expenses, and I do not receive alimony or any social benefits.

We were a perfect family from the outside. When the child has grown a bit, I was planning to get a job. It was then that the things went downhill.

For an effective defense against domestic violence, it is important to correctly assess the dangerous situation and the risk of continuing violence.

The test makes it possible to find out whether you can request the police to issue an urgent restraining order.
