Ukraine Emergency response

Information Campaign

In response to the war in Ukraine, IOM Germany produced a series of brochures with key information targeted to Ukrainian refugees and the volunteers who supported them. I designed and illustrated the brochures, as well as adapting the content into a social media campaign.

Over 10,000 flyers were distributed to arrival centres and key actors across Germany. All of the content was produced in 4 key languages: English, Ukrainian, Russian and German. Throughout the project, I collaborated with several key organizations, including ILO, Deutsche Bahn, and Jugend Notmail.

Gender-Based Violence & Psychological
First Aid

When fleeing warfare, the Ukrainian refugees were highly vulnerable to abuse, both within Ukraine and along the migration route. After arrival, it was crucial that they receive quality mental health support to process any trauma that they experienced.   

As many of the volunteers who supported the Ukrainian refugees, such as first responders and individuals who offered housing, were volunteering for the first time and did not have a background in these areas, these pamphlets were designed to provide the volunteers with key skills in supporting survivors of gender-based violence or psychological trauma

The pamphlets offer a basic overview on these topics: from how to identify potential survivors of trauma, to phrases and actions which can help the survivors feel more comfortable and secure, and where to find more support in cases of severe trauma.

Handbook Germany

In partnership with Handbook Germany, I produced a brochure for Ukrainian refugees which provides key resources on topics such as migrant-friendly healthcare providers, housing, and support services for vulnerable groups.

Labour Exploitation

In cooperation with the International Labour Organization, I produced a booklet on the risk of labour exploitation that Ukrainian refugees may face when searching for employment in Germany. The booklet provides detailed advice on how to identify rogue employers and examples of exploitation in the workplace, as well as where to report instances of abuse.

Social Media Campaign

To spread the awareness of these topics, the text-heavy materials were adapted into a series of social media posts and advertisements.

Each post covered a specific topic in broader detail and provided real-world advice which could be applied both by experts and less experienced volunteers.
