12 WWW.UNWLA.ORG “НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ”, ЧЕРВЕНЬ 2018 and providing services to clients who have previ- ously been excluded. MTs also provide vital emer- gency and routine psychological and social sup- port; engage in case management; disseminate in- formation about services, HIV, violence and hu- man rights; and refer survivors to other specialized services (shelters, hospitals, free - of - charge legal counselling). In addition, MTs have a digital sys- tem of data collection, which helps them analyze trends and direct help to where it is most needed. As of January 2018, mobile teams of psy- chosocial support have been operating in more tha n 2,500 villages. Between November 2015 and December 2017, these MTs have identified and provided services to more than 28,000 victims of GBV (10% male, 90% female). More and more peo- ple who were previously reluctant to report abusive incidents are now wil ling to seek help. The number of self - referrals has doubled. MTs have also estab- lished partnerships with police, state social ser- vices, health facilities, and nongovernmental or- ganizations (NGOs). The mobile team is not only a service. It is a team of adv ocates drawing attention to problems of rural women and families. This initiative is in- corporated into other projects with the support of the European Union, the United Nations Develop- ment Program (UNDP) and UN Women, both UN agencies having offices in Ukr aine. CONCLUSIONS For rural areas, low - resource regions, crisis - and conflict - affected communities, countries like Ukraine that are implementing healthcare, social sphere or decentralization reforms in those areas where a social infrastructure has not y et been de- veloped, MTs can be a cost - effective solution to the problem of violence against women. In the meantime, some of the troubling is- sues persist. Who will work with families and per- petrators of violence against women in the vil- lages? Where will reh abilitated survivors of vio- lence return? Will the communities be able to pro- vide sufficient infrastructure and transportation so that women can work, grow professionally, raise children and live fulfilled lives? These are the tasks on which all of us shoul d focus our efforts. 1 Prevalence of Violence among Women and Girls in Ukraine, UNFPA, Kyiv, 2014.
