LIBERECO - Partnership for Human Rights

We are launching our donation campaign, I CAN – for Ukraine, to support somatic MHPSS programmes for people affected by the war in Ukraine.

Your donation directly supports civil society activists, helping professionals, caregivers, and young people. It helps activists and professionals become more resilient, enables caregivers to respond with curiosity and compassion, and creates moments of safety, connection, and healing for young people.

For people deeply affected by trauma, it offers a real chance to recover from what they have experienced.
Support one helper, and they will pass that support on to dozens or even hundreds of others.
Support them through Somatic Experiencing and watch your impact grow.

The human rights situation in Belarus remains catastrophic. According to the human rights centre , 839 people are currently unjustly imprisoned for political reasons.

Together with Amnesty International and the Foundation for a Peaceful Revolution, we invite you to an evening dedicated to political prisoners in Belarus.

Our guest speaker will be translator and former political prisoner Siarhei Paulavitski. After the discussion, we will write letters to political prisoners in Belarus. All materials will be provided, and letters can be translated if needed.
During the event, you can also visit a poster exhibition by artist .

Everyone is welcome — regardless of language skills — to join us in a warm and solidaristic atmosphere and send a sign of hope and support.

May with the LIBERECO team 💙

This month, we met with new and long-time our members in Utrecht to work on our campaign, explore the city together, and enjoy local food.

Our colleague Ira Ganzhorn spoke at panel discussions in Munich and Augsburg about life in Ukraine during the fifth year of Russia’s full-scale war and the realities people continue to face every day.

Meanwhile, LIBERECO Switzerland joined a solidarity action for Belarusian political prisoners in Zurich, and part of our team attended the “Without Just Cause” conference in Vilnius focused on political repression and human rights.

Back in Berlin, we organised a tote bag workshop using the traditional Ukrainian “Vybijka” printing technique to mark the anniversary of the deportation of the Crimean Tatars.

Thank you to everyone who was with us this month — in conversations, at protests, workshops, and community events. Solidarity continues through people 💛

For many children in Ukraine, “normal” childhood today means nights in bomb shelters, online classes from basements, constant air raid alerts, displacement, and ongoing stress.

On International Children’s Day, join our online discussion on children’s rights during war.

Ukraine may no longer be at the top of the news every day — but for people living through Russia’s war, there is no pause.

In the fourth year of the full-scale invasion, civilians continue to face daily attacks, occupation, displacement and loss. And Europe must not look away.

Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, our colleague Ira Ganzhorn , Humanitarian Aid Officer at Libereco, will speak at two panel discussions hosted by the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung in Bavaria.

Together with other speakers, she will discuss what life and survival in Ukraine look like today, the situation in the occupied territories, and what Germany and the EU can do to stand with Ukraine.

There is something incredibly powerful about seeing cucumbers, radishes and flowers grow again on land scarred by mines and missiles. Where military vehicles stood only recently, women from de-occupied villages in the Kharkiv region are returning to their greenhouses and fields, reclaiming their right to live and work in safety.

Together with the “Deoccupation Shop” project, they are rebuilding their farms and selling fresh produce in Kharkiv, feeding their families and helping entire communities get back on their feet.

In April, women farmers from the liberated areas of Kharkiv received fertiliser and materials for new greenhouses thanks to your donations.
