On August 17, the Kharkiv Literary Museum hosted the presentation of the book “The City Where the War Began” about the occupation of Sloviansk in 2014 made by human rights defenders from the Eastern Ukrainian Center for Civic Initiatives.

From June 28 to June 30, the Eastern Ukrainian Center for Civic Initiatives conducted another training on essay writing: "Tell the world about your experience of life under occupation." This is the second time we have gathered people who have lived under occupation, to help them to write about their experiences in their own words.

On April 25, the Eastern Ukrainian Center for Civic Initiatives, with the support of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra National Reserve, presented the updated traveling exhibition “On the Rift” in the Reserve’s Great Bell Tower.

From April 7 through April 9, the Eastern Ukrainian Center for Civic Initiatives held a training on writing essays, entitled “Tell the world about your experience of life under occupation.”

The work has begun on an updated version of the manual “First steps to restoring justice”, prepared by specialists from the Eastern Ukrainian Center for Civic Initiatives.

Human rights activists from the Eastern Ukrainian Center for Civic Initiatives, with the support of the Dr. Denis Mukwege Foundation, gathered a group of men who suffered from sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) during the war. Most of the members of the group were illegally deprived of their freedom by the Russian occupiers during the war. We must note that such a meeting was held for the first time in Ukraine. For eight years, this category of victims remains out of the attention of the state and society.
