Ukraine

The conflict in Ukraine, which has been simmering since 2014, escalated in February 2022. Many Ukrainian men have been called up for military service, so it is mainly women and children who flee to neighbouring countries. It is estimated that around 6 million refugees from Ukraine have sought protection in neighbouring European countries, and a further 3.7 million people are displaced within the country (10/2023).

AWO International supports emergency aid together with Ukrainian partner organisations. The joint projects include aid deliveries to various Ukrainian cities, as well as shelter and psychosocial support for internally displaced persons. The work also focuses on the reconstruction and professional equipment of social institutions such as schools and women's shelters.
