The study contains conclusions and recommendations for improving access to services for victims by increasing the number of crisis rooms, shelters and day centers, as well as providing them with adequate resources and funding.

This analytical note explores the issue of accessibility for people with disabilities and low- mobility groups in Khmelnytskyi Oblast. The note is based on the results of research conducted by the Khmelnytskyi Regional State Administration, the "Barrier-Free" NGO, and the "Rokada" Charitable Foundation with the support of the Khmelnytskyi Regional Branch Fund for Social Protection of Persons with Disabilities.
The Rokada Charitable Foundation is an implementing partner of the UN Refugee Agency in Ukraine and has been operating for over 20 years. Until February 2022, the Foundation's team consisted of twenty people who helped refugees from more than forty countries to settle in Ukraine: Afghanistan, Sudan, Syria, etc.
On February 24, 2022, everything changed: for Ukrainians, for refugees, for Rokada. Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, based on 20 years of experience and support from international organizations, our Foundation has developed a network of regional offices in 14 regions of the country. Today, hundreds of specialists help the affected population, internally displaced persons and asylum seekers on a daily basis.
