As Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine completes three years of devastation, more than 1.8 million women and girls are internally displaced and less than half of them have employment. Thousands of lives have been lost, the need for humanitarian assistance is rising, and domestic violence rates are surging.
Yet, resilience in Ukraine has a woman’s face.
Ukrainian women are at the forefront, delivering humanitarian aid, leading the country’s economic recovery, and holding their communities together. Today, one in every two businesses in Ukraine is founded by a woman.
UN Women calls for renewed support and investment in women’s rights organizations and women leaders to deliver humanitarian assistance, participate in early recovery and in peace processes.
