"If you constantly experience violence, it will not go away. You either accept it and live as a victim, or you gain strength and go on to change"

Natalya is from the city of Cherkasy. Now she sews, works on  a sewing machine and paints. Previously,  she had many different jobs, but in 2015, an accident happened - Natalya  suffered a spinal cord injury.

 

After that, her life changed radically. She needed to use  a wheelchair. But, as well as this, she experienced domestic violence.

 

How exactly did Natalya manage to adapt to a new life, break the cycle of violence, and  discover herself amidst such difficulties? She talked about this with the UN Population Fund in Ukraine (UNFPA).

 

The "VONA" career hub is implemented by UNFPA with the financial support of the Embassy of Great Britain and the USAID Bureau of Humanitarian Assistance (BHA).
