How to organise the search of a child on the occupied territory? How to interview a teenage-survivor of the detention no making him\/her relive the trauma? How should we write about the child-victim of the war without turning the story into a media-sensation?<\/strong><\/p>\n

These questions – among many others – were discussed by human rights defenders, psychologists, sociologists, and civil society representatives at a seminar dedicated to the challenges of monitoring children’s rights in Ukraine during the war-time (Lviv, July 2026).<\/p>\n

Speakers addressed the issues of the search for missing children and the documentation of war crimes committed by Russia against children in Ukraine, were presented approaches to the psychological support to the traumatised children, to the ethics of related research and interviews involving children, cooperation between the state and civil society, advocacy for children’s rights. Previously was published the presentation on the right to education during the war \u2014 now we invite you to watch other participants who spoke at the seminar (videos in Ukrainian)<\/a> on our channel.<\/p>\n
