To launch #HumansForUkraine initiative, we organized a Twitter Spaces Discussion. The hosts, Diana Filimon and Aurra Kawanzaruwa talked to Ukrainian civil society activists, Yulia Reshitko, Tetiana Yakubovych and Melania Podolyak, currently living in Lviv, about the situation on the ground, how the resistance against the invaders is holding up and how can people help them. They shared both inspiring stories and heartbreaking ones and spread the word about the situation of people in Ukraine, under attack.

DCN Global launched the #HumansForUkraine campaign of user-generated multimedia stories, depicting the way Ukrainians live through the tragic experience of war, oppression, human rights violations and migration while fighting for freedom and democracy on behalf of their country and the whole world. Ηundreds of DCN members have been in contact with us, sharing their  stories as well as their profound appreciation for the global solidarity they feel. We believe that these stories need to be added to the daily flow of news about the war, to provide a human dimension and a civil society perspective. This initiative responds to a call to action by Ukrainians who want the world to hear their voices. 

Their stories will be updated daily, on DCN Global’s social media and on the website https://dcnglobal.net/humansforukraine  and include digital diaries, visuals, quotes, blogs, interviews,  connecting with life in Ukraine and neighbouring countries where the refugees are, during a war that threatens all of us but is experienced the most by those in the front lines, in Ukraine.
