"There was an emotional void" — the story of a woman who got out of the besieged city of Mariupol

Hunger, dead bodies on the streets and a 20-kilometer walk to get out of besieged Mariupol — that was the first month of the war for 69-year-old city resident Liudmyla.

She managed to get to Ivano-Frankivsk, where she not only started a new life, but also works with a psychologist in a social and psychological assistance mobile team, which was launched by the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), with support of USAID's Bureau of humanitarian assistance. It is a service that provides support to survivors of domestic, gender-based violence and survivors of war-related violence or trauma.

Liudmyla told UNFPA how she managed to get out of Mariupol and what helped her find herself in a new city.
