There is a 68% incidence of domestic violence in Ukraine. The Konvalia Project has focused energies on the development of a program for the prevention of domestic violence in Ukraine. The work is two-fold. The first is an educational focus that provides information to abused women and representatives of social agencies who work with abused women. Also, six-session workshops are being presented in elementary and high schools focussing on the development of healthy relationships, respect, conflict resolution, building respect, resources in the community and legislation. The second is the provision of services for abused women which would include individual and group counselling services.
