OPORA

OPORA is a Ukrainian analytical center with unique expertise at the local, national, and international levels. Since 2006, we have been developing a culture of political participation as the foundation of a responsible society and supporting democratic processes even in crisis conditions. Over almost 20 years of work, OPORA has established an impeccable professional reputation and a high level of trust among citizens, politicians, and international partners. OPORA remains equidistant from political forces, ensuring impartial observation and objectivity in all our actions.

OPORA advocates for the reform of electoral legislation and the implementation of relevant practices, protects the political rights of citizens, and works on voter education. OPORA’s lawyers also document Russian war crimes and work on the creation of mechanisms for bringing those responsible to justice. In addition, OPORA promotes Ukraine’s interests at the international level, supporting democratic reforms and European integration, and also studies disinformation and its impact.
