Similarly, Free Yourself Global is launching its web series “Voices” as we invite people from around the world to share their stories of violence and recovery. Support the Facebook hashtag to support the women to speak out in the Ukraine and share #freeyourselfglobal to encourage people around the world to tell their stories. These stories will be used to help inform policy makers around the world about first hand experience in what works and doesn’t work in our current legal and support systems from various countries around the world.
