📄 New Protection Monitoring Snapshot – Southern & Eastern Ukraine (Oct 2025) We’re pleased to share the October 2025 Protection Monitoring Snapshot for Southern & Eastern Ukraine, developed by IRC in partnership with Foundation for Community Development and Charitable organization «Charitable Foundation SHC CO«SHCHEDRYK». 🗺️ Coverage & methodology Based on: • 📊 240 household surveys • 🗣️ 22 key informant interviews (KIIs) Conducted across Sumy, Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia, Dnipropetrovsk, Odesa, Mykolaiv and Donetsk oblasts, engaging affected residents, IDPs and returnees in both rural and urban communities. ⚠️ Key protection risks identified The analysis highlights three deeply interlinked risks: 1️⃣ Ongoing attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure, compounded by widespread mine/UXO contamination 2️⃣ Discrimination, stigmatization, and barriers to accessing services and humanitarian assistance 3️⃣ Gender-based violence, particularly domestic violence 🔎 Key findings • Nearly half of respondents identify aerial and artillery attacks as the main security threat; mine contamination and proximity to hostilities continue to undermine safety, livelihoods and mental health. • Domestic violence and ill-treatment of children are flagged by key informants as serious but often under-reported risks. • Persistent challenges in meeting basic needs, with the most urgent gaps being: 💰 Financial assistance 🏥 Healthcare and medicines 🧴 Hygiene items • Significant information gaps remain around financial aid, housing compensation and medical services. • Legal issues (housing, land and property, documentation, social benefits) are widespread, while employment has dropped sharply compared to pre-displacement levels. • Limited heating, high fuel costs and damaged energy infrastructure heighten winter-related health risks, especially for older people, persons with disabilities and low-income households. 🌱 Community capacities & positive practices Despite the challenges, communities continue to demonstrate resilience through: • Local winterisation initiatives • Mine risk education for children • Municipal social support programmes • Free transport to medical facilities 📌 Why this matters This snapshot provides actionable evidence to inform winterisation planning, protection programming, and advocacy with authorities and humanitarian partners. #Ukraine #Protection #GBV #MineAction #Winterization #HumanitarianResponse #EvidenceBasedProgramming #IRC
