Recently, our work with Ukraine's High School of Public Governance kicked off with the training of future case managers who will register survivors under the Bardina Law. The 54 participants will work directly with survivors. They will play a vital role in turning the law's promise of reparation into a reality.
The curriculum was designed by GSF - drawing from our expertise in working with survivors - experts from the government-led pilot project, and Ukraine's Ministry of Social Policy. We expect to train a further 50 case managers in the coming months.
Their work to carefully document each case of conflict-related sexual violence requires a survivor-centred, trauma-informed approach and a focus on 'do no harm' principle. Through the pilot project, we proved that statements can be collected in a safe and non-traumatising manner, and we are now sharing this knowledge with the specialists who will carry this responsibility forward.
