We are launching a bi-weekly podcast to showcase the vital and innovative work of our grantees in the Daphne-CHILD programme as they combat violence against children across Europe. Through these conversations, we aim to highlight the dedicated organisations working on the frontlines of child protection, share their unique approaches to supporting survivors, and amplify the voices of those creating meaningful change in their communities.

Each episode offers listeners insight into the challenges, successes, and resilience found in this critical field, whilst demonstrating how grassroots civil society organisations are transforming lives through comprehensive support, legal advocacy, and trauma-informed care.

In this first episode, we speak with Julia Sachenko, Executive Director of Child Rescue Ukraine, about their work providing legal representation and holistic support to child survivors of sexual exploitation and abuse, including those returned from occupied territories and Russian deportation.
