Specialists from communities in the Kharkiv and Sumy regions—partners of the "Girls' Clubs" program—met in person with the program team to present their initial progress and the challenges they have encountered, and to collaboratively seek solutions.
We discussed key aspects of our joint work:
- the practical implementation of the Strategy for Ensuring Every Child’s Right to Grow Up in a Family Environment in Ukraine;
- the assessment and mapping of gender-based violence services at the community level to facilitate effective referral and response;
- the establishment of newly created girls' clubs—spaces for developing leadership skills and effective tools for preventing gender-based violence;
- and the potential to strengthen each other’s efforts through timely and coordinated communication.
