More information from the online event #ICouldBeInHerPlace:

United Nations Declared International Day for the Elimination of Sexual Violence in Conflict. June 19th marks the day the United Nations has set aside as the day we recognize and bring awareness to eliminating sexual violence in conflict. June 19th represents an important day as we must bring awareness to the use of brutal, rampant, and systematic sexual violence happening to Ukrainians at the hands of Russian soldiers. It is not enough to just protest! As much as we raise our voices for the survivors of rape in Ukraine, we must help with their treatment.

Nova Ukraine @novaukraine has opened a special fundraiser for Women Of Ukraine – Жінки для України and 100% of the proceeds go to the treatment of the survivors of rape in Ukraine via SEMA’s expertise in the physical, emotional, and psychological treatment of such survivors.We invite you to participate in the global online protest hosted by Women For Ukraine – Жінки для України @womenforukr, Polonijna Rada Kobiet+ (International Council of Polish Women+) @polonijnaradakobiet, SEMA Ukraine @SEMAUkraine, Łódzkie Dziewuchy Dziewuchom @lodzkiedziewuchy, Dziewuchy Berlin @DziewuchyBerlin, Dziewuchy Szwajcaria @DziewuchyCH, Virtual Feminist @VirtualFeminist, and Underdog Ukraine FB: https://www.facebook.com/underdogukraine
