For ten years, the Ukrainian Helsinki Human Rights Union (UHHRU) supported the work of a network of public reception offices in thirteen cities of Ukraine: Kyiv, Kherson, Kharkiv, Chernihiv, Kirovohrad, Lviv, Mykolaiv, Luhansk, Donetsk, Konotop, Sievierodonetsk, Sevastopol, and Ternopil.
The UHHRU reception offices operate on the basis of unified organisational and ethical principles. They provide primary and secondary legal advice free of charge, conduct informational and educational events, and distribute legal and humanistic literature.
Their contact information can be found on the UHHRU web portal: http://helsinki.org.ua/index.php?r=1.3.2
For ten years, the NGO “Helsinki Initiative – XXI” and the ENGO “Green World” acted as regional partners of the UHHRU Ternopil reception office.
Currently, due to the lack of funds to rent office space and pay for the work of lawyers, the reception of citizens at the UHHRU Ternopil reception office has been suspended.
