“Overcoming together” project
About us:
We know that violence in queer families exists and that it’s hard to talk about it. We want to change your attitude to domestic abuse.
“Overcoming together” is the only project in Russia that specialises in this issue.
Our primary focus is providing assistance. We offer free psychological and legal help to survivors of intimate partner or domestic violence among person residing in Russia, as well as to those who show abusive behaviour.
Among our consultants are lawyers and psychologists who have private practice or work in NGOs helping domestic violence survivors and abusers. It is essential to us that all our specialists are friendly.
One of the missions of our group is to reduce the level of violence in queer relationships. To accomplish this, we strive to increase awareness about intimate partner violence, educating people on how to identify abusive behaviors and cultivate healthy relationships.
We actively collaborate with media outlets to make these problems more visible.
