Iryna Chaika (Local Development Network) and Oksana Gedz (Right To Protection) discuss with Vittorio Infante (Oxfam) the scaling up from legal assistance work to advocacy and operations supporting Internally Displaced Peoples (IDPs) and their communities after the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

Both LDN and R2P are active in advocacy spaces at the local and national level, including the Protection Cluster. Tune in to hear more about their tireless efforts to ensure that Ukrainians affected by conflict have full access to their rights and essential services they’re entitled to.

Their dedication, energy and resourcefulness over the past 18 months will inspire anyone who has advocated to protect civilians in conflict.
