Authors of the concept

We are organisations that provide services, advocate for rights, and research the journeys and needs of warriors and their loved ones. In 2023, we formed a Coalition and began developing a public policy concept for veterans and their families.

We relied on our own research and consultations with specialists in public administration, lawyers, and government officials. The concept has now been refined and presented to the public.

    “We provide all our examination findings to the state and the Ministry, so that they are as well-informed as possible when making decisions and developing a comprehensive system of support and recognition for veterans and their families,” says Ivona Kostyna.

    “In our work, we adhere to the principle of ‘nothing for veterans without veterans’. Therefore, our vision of veteran policy is based on data from dozens of studies conducted over the years of this war,” says Liubov Halan.

    “Our team’s work at the local and regional level through the Coalition of Veterans’ Spaces allows us to directly hear from veterans and their families, to understand their needs, and, accordingly, to influence the development of policies,” notes Oksana Koliada.

Legal Hundred

We defend human rights in the context of military service and develop legal mechanisms to support veterans’ reintegration.

    “Our recommendations are shaped by our experience in providing legal assistance to veterans since 2014. We see the bureaucratic chaos that warriors and their families face every day — and we work to change that. We believe that, together with the state, we can build an effective system of support for those who have defended the country,” — Yuliia Morii.
