Gender-based violence and stress: Rokada held a group session at a social institution in Konotop
Visitors to the Konotop Territorial Centre for Social Services learned to recognise gender-based violence. Rokada psychologist Alina Kriutchenko explained how important it is to be able to recognise violence in order to respond to it.
“When a person understands what is happening to them, that is already the first step towards protection. So we talked both about GBV and about how to cope with the body’s reaction to stress. Moreover, a person who knows how to stabilise their own state can support others. This is especially important for those who work with vulnerable groups of people,” the specialist explains.
The project is implemented by the Rokada Charitable Foundation with the support of Agenzia Italiana per la Cooperazione allo Sviluppo (AICS) in partnership with the Bukovinian Agency for Initiatives and Development (BAID) and Un Ponte Per ETS (UPP).
