My name is Igor Kozakevich. I am the creator of the initiative group “Hope & Faith”. I and my friends are living in a young European country, calls Ukraine, the country that moves to the democracy, to the declaration of will, to the dominion of order and law, to the lack of violence and force in families, especially force on female.
But what we have in fact? There is not accepted to talk about family violence openly in our country. That’s why it seems that there is the absence of such a problem in Ukraine. But the facts speak for themselves. More than 50 percent of the population suffer from the family violence during all their life, and besides 30 percent saw it in their childhood. At 95 cases from 100 the victims of the violence became female. And 92-97% of the situations aggressors are male. According to the official facts it can be seen that every forth husband beats his wife. According to the Institute of Social Research National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, 65% of female (about 18 million) became the victim of mockery in families. Herewith the violence has neither social nor national characters. As offenders and victims can be either poor educated people with low prosperity or scientists and teachers and successful businessmen and so on. Female suffer more from the family violence then from the robbery, rape by stranger and car-crash all together. But in more cases they do not tell about it to their kith or law enforcement agencies, and they let to mock on them because of the fear, shame or difficult financial situation. As a result mothers, wives and daughters always stay in a state of stress and lose not only the confidence in themselves but also their health.
Not wanting to put up with such situation in May’07 the group of students, the practitioners the psychology and public figures created a non-profit initiative group “Hope & Faith”. Our main mission is to provide psychological help and social rehab to female of different ages which subjected to violence (physical, psychological and sexual), also subjected to violence because of religious and ethnical views.
During last 4 years our organization assisted psychological help more than 2000 women which subjected to violence. We have developed copyright methods of working with female who was subjected to violence, including authorized psycho-correctional work, psychological consultancy, psychotherapy, social adaptation and social rehab.
Now we have 7 groups of psychotherapy where we assist help to the victims of violence and also in our “Hope and Faith” based the groups of mutual aid. We conduct an individual psychotherapy session and make a correctional program to every client of our organization. We perform psychological support for family members of victims of violence. We perform psychological training for the victims of psychological, physical and sexual violence. And for each type of violence we have developed authoring program of psychological training. Also we actively cooperating with various non-governmental and public organizations, we conduct specialized lectures at universities, organize conferences devoted to countering physical, psychological and sexual violence against female, we involve the cooperation of medical personnel, lawyers, teachers, and all the people who are not indifferent to the problem of violence.
Over the years of work with victims of violence we faced with the fact that the victims must assert their rights and freedom themselves that we believe is fundamentally wrong. We are working and will continue to develop the organization that will help, protect and defend female from injustice and persecution of our society.
If you are not indifferent to the problems of women, if you are against the violence under women, if you want the peaceful future to our mothers, wives and children, so we invite you to join our group and we appreciate you provided charitable assistance to the development of our programs
