Item The experience of male labor exploitation: voices from Ukraine(2019) Gusak, NataliiaNumerous of labour exploited men do not consider themselves to be victims of trafficking and/or forced labour survivors and do not refer for assistance. Nevertheless, some studies provide evidence that they experienced awful labour and living conditions, nourishment as well as lack of medical aid. Moreover, some of them experienced different types of abuse.

The research allowed me to identify the role of civil society organizations in health policy processes, practices and types of HIV-activism, and challenges for this activism’s development. The paper shows that major transformations have occurred in both service provision and policy practices, including the introduction of the national and regional coordination councils. These councils enforce the horizontal level of public policy, as well as changing the public’s opinion regarding HIV-positive people and the measures to combat HIV. The international organizations and their beneficiaries in Ukraine are the main challengers to existing practices and the driving forces for changes in public health policy and the strengthening of participatory approaches.Item Key Competencies in Social Work through Field Placement: Teaching and Learning in Ukraine in the Time of COVID-19(2021) Gusak, Nataliia; Volhyna, OksanaField placement is considered a core component of social work education. However, it requires regular personal contacts with individuals, groups and communities. These contacts have been limited in the time of the COVID-19 pandemic. A central question is how to organize field placement during the lockdown to develop key competencies in social work. To answer this question, we employ the students’ reports, competency-based self-evaluation tools, students’ assessment of the field placement (led by the University’s education quality assurance centre) and assessment of students’ performance by the field placement supervisors and university instructors. This paper presents the achievements and challenges of teaching and mastering key competencies in social work at the School of Social Work of the National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy from different perspectives: students, placement agencies and the University itself. While almost all competencies have been taught and learned, those related to individual casework were the most difficult to achieve. The flexibility of the social work profession is also discussed in this paper. Future social workers should be flexible and meet the people's needs in different contexts, including lockdown. The findings have implications for students, schools of social work and field placement agencies.Item Printed Media Coverage of HIV/AIDS: the Results of All-Ukrainian Monitoring of the Most Popular Newspapers and Magazines(2006) Semigina, TetyanaThe paper presents the results of the all-Ukrainian monitoring of the most popular printed mass media on the coverage of the HIV/AIDS problem.
