“In the conditions of military hostilities, it is more important than ever to engage in educational activities among young people regarding the forestalling and prevention of family violence and gender-based violence. The problem of violence is not new, it has always existed as one of the priorities in the work of psychological services, however, taking into account the events of military aggression on the territory of our country, this issue appears from a new angle,” – commented Yevheniia Khomenko.

During the event, types of violence were discussed, as well as features of countermeasures and protection, especially psychological. Students received answers to all questions of a legal nature that interested them.
