This photo exhibition tells the story of a trip to the Kherson region. In October, our team of documentarians from the Human Rights Education House in Chernihiv conducted a monitoring mission in the Kherson region as part of the project “Education under fire” (Kherson and Sumy regions).” Our goal was to document attacks on educational institutions.
During the 7-day visit, our team managed to document 15 educational institutions. Most of them are either completely destroyed and beyond restoration or significantly damaged. Russian occupiers lived in many institutions, turning them into torture chambers and ammunition depots, deploying military equipment. Some schools were systematically targeted by Russian forces.
These photos of educational institutions in the Kherson region reveal the truth about what Russia is doing to education in Ukraine.
