v;ctory 57

Hermina Hayk, MSc, is the initiator of the innovative project „v;ctory 57“ with multiple locations across Europe. Within this protected framework, highly traumatized individuals, including:

  • Soldiers of the UN peacekeeping forces (BLUE HELMETS) following a deployment in crisis areas
  • so-called system breaker children
  • vulnerable victims of human trafficking, such as forced prostitutes
  • and most recently, young people and children who have been victims of organized sexualized torture
can initially recover and find stability, in order to subsequently engage in the process of healing.
For these affected individuals, Hermina Hayk, MSc, has developed the psychosocial counseling method „v;ctory 57“.
