Ukraine: in Zaporizhia, an association commits to supporting war widows
The conflict in Ukraine has resulted in heavy loss of life, leaving behind a large number of bereaved widows. While the Ukrainian state offers financial assistance to the families of soldiers who died at the front, psychological assistance is provided by committed volunteers. In Zaporizhia, an association is mobilizing to help these widows cope with their grief and continue living.
The number of Ukrainian soldiers killed at the front is already estimated to be in the tens of thousands, leaving families devastated. Although official data is not published, it is undeniable that Ukraine has paid a heavy price in this conflict. Widows, for their part, find themselves confronted with a new reality, plunged back into mourning and uncertainty about the future.
Faced with this situation, volunteers organized themselves within the Zaporizhia association to support these bereaved women. Their goal is to provide them with psychological and emotional assistance to help them overcome their loss and find a new balance in their lives. Volunteers work individually with widows, offering them active listening, practical advice and moral support.
