The special task force to support women and girl refugees in Europe and to prevent exploitation and trafficking
Millions of refugee girls and women are fleeing for their lives in Europe, on a horrific journey into an unknown future. Thousands of people are exploited, falling prey to extortion, violence, rape and human trafficking.
The terrible war comes at a tragic price: dead, wounded and refugees. But it also presents a difficult phenomenon – brutal exploitation in times of distress for women and girls who are desperate to save their families. In order to stop the difficult phenomenon of exploitation and enslavement of women, we sent treatment teams from the field of psycho-trauma and social work.
Sexual violence is a horrific byproduct of large-scale wars and disasters. Testimonies reveal that a significant percentage of refugee women and girls have suffer long-term physical, psychological and social consequences of sexual violence during their escape from conflicts. They endure persistent displacement, poverty, loneliness and helplessness.
In response to this crisis, we have jointly established the “Wherever You Go” project – to aid women and girl refugees from Ukraine. The project is being led by women in public life, alongside women’s and human rights organizations, rescue, emergency and international development organizations.
We provide guidance, emotional support and trauma treatment for women and girls. We are also conducting awareness-raising activities among other aid organizations operating in the field relating to protecting refugees from exploitation.
The activities in the field, first at transit stations in eastern Poland and gradually in other areas, is being done through volunteers, social workers and psychologists, nurses and educators and youth workers.
In addition, we will be providing humanitarian assistance – food, drink, medicines and hygiene products, blankets, and any other assistance – as the conditions require.
