It has been over three months since Russia's invasion of Ukraine and there is no end in sight. The war in Ukraine has triggered Europe's largest refugee crisis since World War II with more than six million people having fled Ukraine already and data shows that eight  million people are displaced within the country itself.

War, regardless of the reasons for it or its outcome, destroys communities and families and disrupts the development of the social and economic norms while causing long-term physical and psychological harm to children and adults. War poses the biggest threat to society's most vulnerable and persecuted communities; and the LGBTQ+ community in Ukraine is no exception.
