"We were left without protection and didn't understand what to do," such were the first days of the war for Hanna Tartynskyh, a psychologist from Berdiansk, which is under temporary military control of Russia.

From the first weeks, Hanna began to help others with psychological support.

During the evacuation, she helped change the life of a 6-year-old boy from Mariupol. His parents had died during the shelling of the city. Hanna helped him move to Dnipro and get a family.

After moving to Dnipro, Hanna got a job with the social and psychological assistance mobile team in the city of Dnipro. After that, she started to work at the Survivors Relief Centre. Both services work thanks to the support of the United Nation Population Fund (UNFPA).

Hanna talked to UNFPA about experiencing the war, helping 6-year-old Illia, and the level of domestic violence now in Ukraine.
