About us

First of all – Experts

We are a group of experts forming a network of comprehensive support for people who have experienced wartime sexual violence and are seeking help in Poland.

We assume that only trauma-oriented work along with an interdisciplinary approach (psychological, medical, legal and social support) can truly and safely transform the lives of the afflicted. This type of support has the potential to counter the long-term consequences of complex trauma and inhibit epigenetic changes. Our initiative was originated by Wiola Rebecka, a psychoanalyst working with wartime rape survivors and author of the book “Rape: a History of Shame. Diary of the Survivors”.
