How A Ukrainian Therapist Supports People Sexually Assaulted By Russian Soldiers


Listen Later

Warning: This week’s episode will focus on sexual violence committed by Russian soldiers. Reader, listener and viewer discretion is advised

This week, I talk about Ukrainian civilians who survived sexual assault from Russian troops during the war. Ukraine is investigating  nearly 300 cases of sexual assault, but that number is likely much higher. Today, I am talking with Nadiia Volchenska, co-founder of the Sylni foundation, which was founded soon after the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 202s to support survivors of sexual assault. 

Translating for Nadiia is Vira Stadnyk - communications manager at the Sylni Foundation.
