to supporting those affected by violence cannot stand alone: it must go hand in hand with measures
to bring about change in general political conditions, societal structures and public awareness.

As of September 2022, just over one million forced
migrants from Ukraine have entered Germany, making Germany the third largest recipient of migrants
(Ukraine Refugee Situation, 2022).
As early a...s March 2022, several news outlets reported that accommodation centers were at or near

a reception facility where they are able to register, begin the asylum application procedure, and access
support services
