Women and girls in the midst of the Ukraine crisis face severe risks to their safety, dignity and well-being. RINJ Women provide essential and life-saving reproductive health care and physical safety in war zones. Women’s care is otherwise forgotten by government institutions. Ukraine’s services for women and girls critical to their health, future and survival, are eroded by war. The need for care is extreme with war-time consequences that can be devastating. RINJ Women are in Ukraine, helping Ukrainians, with your support.
RINJ Women provide specialized care for women & children in active Ukraine War Zones with your help.
Help Ukrainians.

Donate and Get your name on a monument in Kyiv, Ukraine
Following the Ukraine war, we intend to erect a monument with a plaque commemorating hundreds of Ukrainian women volunteers who like a Phoenix have arisen from their destroyed families and homes to learn new skills to help others. These women have emerged from desperation, poverty, grief & loss, to learn from us our specialized skills as midwives, nursing assistants, childcare workers & medivac drivers. Meeting these Ukrainian women has been a life-changing experience for us.
Rebuilding Ukraine starts with Saving Lives
Our plan is to use a small piece of real estate being donated for the purpose, in Kyiv, for what will be a celebrated artistic statute representing these glorious women and thank the backers for their efforts helping women and kids survive the smashing of their homes in Ukraine.

Did you know there is a hand signal you can use to say “somebody inside my house is abusing me”.
Video: “A hand reached up between the glass and the curtain unseen from the inside. It made the signal, ‘I am in Danger’. We reacted. A rescue ensued,” said an emergency medical worker in Ukraine.
Did you know there is a hand signal you can use to say “somebody inside my house is abusing me”. It also means this is not private, my rapist is nearby. Or it can mean the children are listening or somebody is listening who could be harmed. Courtesy Feminine-Perspective-Magazine (FPMag.net)
The RINJ Foundation absolute privacy and confidentiality. Notice that we are not splashy about rescues and case studies. There will be no hint of identities. We provide care in the utmost of privacy and that is our hallmark. The names and whereabouts of women and children we care for and the humanitarians who provided their care are never revealed under any circumstances, ever. We do not allow trackers on our web sites and we do not track patients under any circumstances. Follow-up appointments and home care are done by word of mouth between practitioners and the person(s) in need of care.
“If the fighters find our clinics, they will attack, rape and torture every female they find. That is why we must pay for armed security guards. Please help us stay safe.“
RINJ Women have been in the Ukraine for years since before the conflict began in 2014, in fact since we lost our Oksana Makar who was raped and murdered in Ukraine by the patriarchy in Kiev.
We need to treat sexually transmitted disease immediately. In many cases this involves massive doses of specialized antibiotics in a one-time dose. Why? Because some rape survivors are so ashamed and so PTSD, they do not come back hence we use a regimen of immediate and massive pharmacological disease intervention. We need to make sure the patient takes their meds therefore a 10-day course of anti-biotics is not going to work out. Better to avoid a 10-day or 7-day course of some of the traditional pharmaceuticals unless we are housing the patient, which is what we prefer. Please donate to pay the costs of STD medications and antiretroviral meds.
We conduct and teach rape kit collection and specialized nursing programs for medical recruits in-country.
Training new volunteers is a very effective method for doing our work because we can train existing staffers working inside existing medical facilities and increase our GBV medical expertise presence with a leave-behind of valuable skills retention.
We operate our own clinics and we provide specialized GBV staff to existing medical facilities.
We must pay salaries and provide supplies and that is where your donation might go. We pay visiting nurses only 1,927 $cdn per month as a stipend to a volunteer. Please help with that.
We also provide housing for the visiting foreign nurse in these instances. This helps us do our work in Ukraine. We have our people embedded in many health care facilities. In some cases these are the only staffer being paid. In Ukraine we are heavily embedded providing specialized women’s care for over a decade. Please donate.

Where does your gift go?
Some people who know the RINJ Women do specify where they would like funds to go. For example if you add a note “HIV” 100% of your gift will go to purchasing the free HIV self-test (blood test not saliva) kits we provide patients. Generally, all personal donor funds are used to purchase care supplies. Donations are deposited in our Royal Bank of Canada account, or in a local account in Kiev when that is safe to do, and more than 100% of your donation reaches women and children in need because we have donors who will match your gift. The vast majority of RINJ workers are unpaid volunteers, medical students, interns, and exchange program workers.

“We are just saving the lives that can be saved,” said the head nurse of an underground (literally under the ground) medical clinic for women.
