While most refugees continue their journey, approximately 117,000 refugees have chosen to remain in the country, most of whom are women and children. This poses a challenge for a small country with approximately 2.7 million inhabitants and limited resources.
Davis meets Ukrainian refugee children at AVE Copiii. AO Association for Child and Family Empowerment ‘AVE Copiii’ is one of the first NGOs registered in the Republic of Moldova to promote the rights of children, and has been UNHCR’s partner for the past 20 years.
The organization promotes the social protection of families and children, especially those from vulnerable groups. They work on the prevention of violence in at-risk families and on the social reintegration of children who have survived abuse and neglect.
As a result of the large-scale invasion of Ukraine and the large number of refugee women and children, including unaccompanied and separated children, entering Moldova, AVE Copiii expanded their activities to directly assist refugee children and caregivers.
