Ukraine Emergency Situation Report #16 - 17 February 2023

UNFPA continues to work with partners to respond to the Ukraine emergency. Highlights from the month of January include:

• The #TrainOfHope launched between Kyiv and Chisinau is a lifeline, providing refugees, including many women with children, both a route to safety and a way back home. 
• When the Government of Ukraine lost control of Kherson city, social workers at a shelter for survivors of domestic violence continued to work so that women and girls could receive essential assistance. 
• A newly opened survivor relief centre in Chernivtsi provides comprehensive social and psychological support to people who have fled the war or temporarily occupied territories. 
• Through its 20 static and 8 mobile safe spaces in Moldova, UNFPA supported over 1,200 refugees and host community members, including women, youth and older persons. 
• UNFPA is opening its third Orange Safe Space in Belarus, in the city of Grodno.
