Women's voices must be heard in the public and political life of Ukraine

Ukraine's full-scale invasion has transformed every aspect of public life.

Women have assumed greater responsibilities in their families, regional and local leadership in their communities, humanitarian response efforts, and local governance, often becoming the backbone of social resilience in times of crisis.
