Over the past few weeks, Director of NGO Girls Yuliya Sporysh, traveled across Kharkiv, Poltava, Dnipropetrovsk, and Zaporizhzhia regions — meeting teams on the ground, listening to communities, and seeing firsthand what it takes to deliver support in wartime Ukraine.
She visited mobile brigades and safe spaces, spoke directly with local teams and community representatives, and documented real cases and needs.
The challenges our teams navigate every day are real: difficult logistics, damaged infrastructure, seasonal access barriers, limited availability of services. Understanding them up close is what makes the difference between support that looks good on paper and support that actually works.
"What matters most to me on these visits is a simple question: what do my teams need to stay resourced — so they can keep supporting Ukrainian women living through this war? The answer is never the same twice. And that's exactly why I keep showing up", — Yuliya Sporysh.
Fieldwork isn't a formality. It's how we make sure our support actually reaches the people who need it.
