Our field visits usually take us to de-occupied communities. But this time, we found ourselves on a football pitch — standing in solidarity with those who, in real life, play for humanity.
A friendly tournament was held in Kyiv, bringing together colleagues and partners working in human rights and humanitarian aid. Our team was on site to provide first aid support to the players throughout the matches.
It was a heated day — not only because of the sun, but also thanks to the intense yet friendly competition! Teams on the field included:
⚽ International Committee of the Red Cross in Ukraine
⚽ UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine
⚽ Secretariat of the Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights
⚽ Ukrainian Red Cross Society
We are grateful to the organizers for the invitation and their trust. And to all the players — thank you for your strength, resilience, and drive to win. Congratulations to the Ombudsman’s Office team on their victory!
