In 2025, the association continued its work on documenting human rights violations and supporting vulnerable groups in the context of the armed conflict. Particular attention was given to the protection of civilians, support for Ukrainian prisoners of war, and documentation of cases of gender-based violence.
Throughout the year, the association’s activists held regular coordination meetings. These took place at least twice a month and included the collection of testimonies, their initial verification, and discussions on safe formats for publication. In parallel, materials were prepared for analytical and human rights work.
In 2025, the organization conducted a series of solo pickets in support of Ukrainian prisoners of war. The purpose of these actions was to raise public awareness of the conditions of their detention and violations of international humanitarian law.
Activist Victoria Plotnikova participated in the annual international campaign “16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence” (November 25 – December 10) within the framework of UN Women Austria in Vienna. As part of the campaign, she took part in the exhibition “Women in War: Art as a Territory of Peace” (BasementArt exhibition space, Vienna, Austria), where she highlighted violations of women’s rights and manifestations of violence related to the war through visual art.
Additionally, the analytical report “Gender-Based Violence in the Context of the Russian-Ukrainian War: Scope, Dynamics, Testimonies” was prepared and presented. It was based on collected testimonies and systematic analysis of documented cases and served as a foundation for advocacy work and further research.
Summary
In 2025, the organization combined documentation of human rights violations, public initiatives, and artistic projects, which increased visibility of the issues faced by Ukrainian prisoners of war and gender-based violence. The activities conducted and materials collected laid the foundation for the development of further human rights initiatives.
