‘Led by’ rather than ‘included by others’ (Ukraine) - Case study

How do we ensure marginalised groups aren't just included in humanitarian response—but lead it?

This case study from Ukraine explores how Christian Aid worked with partners already connected to LGBTQIA+ people, PLHIV communities, and people with disabilities. It shows how intentional partnerships and microgrants enabled communities to respond to their own needs—on their own terms—in a way that’s safe, dignified and deeply rooted in trust.
