Since the war in Ukraine began, the Republic of Moldova has become a key refuge for Ukrainians fleeing the conflict. More than 1 million people have crossed into Moldova during this period, with an estimated 120,000 refugees currently residing in the country.

HIAS, alongside local partners, plays a vital role in Moldova’s refugee response, focusing on multiple areas of support. This includes direct assistance, community engagement, mental health care, and legal assistance for vulnerable groups, particularly women and girls, ensuring their safety and protection from violence.

Moreover, HIAS strengthens the refugee support system by building the capacities of partners, women-led organizations, and local authorities.

Helping Displaced Ukrainian Women in Moldova Rebuild

As the war in Ukraine continues, millions of displaced people, especially women and children, are still recovering from violence and trauma. With the support of the German Federal Foreign Office (GFFO), HIAS Europe and our local partners are improving access to essential mental health services and social integration for Ukrainian refugees.

“I am deeply grateful for the support and the opportunity to implement my project. In our region, there are almost no activities for refugee children, so this initiative became a breath of fresh air,” said Ninel, a Ukrainian refugee leader who founded a children’s center in her community.
