About NGO Girls NGO Girls ( ) is a Ukrainian national women-led non governmental organization committed to empowering women and girls in crisis affected communities. Founded in 2019, it operates with a mission 'Girls and women in Ukraine plan all pregnancies, build life strategies, and are self-sufficient and satisfied'. The NGO works to promote gender equality, advocate for women's and girls' rights, and provide comprehensive support to those affected by the large-scale invasion and subsequent humanitarian crisis. NGO Girls addresses the needs of women, girls, and children through mental health and psychosocial support, and through educational initiatives that promote sexual health and prevent gender-based violence. The organization operates 10 WGSS across Ukraine, empowers women by fostering leadership and economic independence, and strengthens local NGOs to build a sustainable humanitarian response system. It operates in 12 Ukrainian regions, with a focus on most affected territories in the North, East and South of Ukraine, and has a headquarters in Kyiv. The core team is about 50 people, mostly based in Kyiv, and the regional teams include over 250 people. In 2022-2023, the NGO's programs covered 400 000 people.

MISSION: Every Casualty Counts is an international charity dedicated to ensuring every life lost in armed conflict is recognised. We do this by supporting a global network of casualty recording organisations in the painstaking task of documenting the dead. Whoever they are, wherever they died - every body deserves a name. VISION: Our vision is a world in which the dignity and humanity of every person is recognised and valued. It is a world in which nobody is considered expendable 'collateral damage'. It is a world where those who wish to pursue armed conflict must first acknowledge the cost of their actions on individual human lives, not just anonymous statistics.
