Gender aspects of the war in Ukraine

With Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, women have not only become the backbone of defense logistics in Ukraine, but around twenty percent of the country’s fighting forces are made up by women. With most men leaving for the front, women are left to head households and keep businesses and social care running.

War changes the gender dynamics of any given society. It can both provide opportunities for rebuilding more equal post-war societies, and reinforce traditional values.

To commemorate the one-year anniversary of the war in Ukraine and International Women's Day, we will in this conversation focus on gender aspects of war in Ukraine.

Guests:
Jessica Poh Janrell
Advocacy Advisor at Kvinna till Kvinna, working with women's rights organizations all around the world, especially focused on women's rights in conflict affected countries and women's and civil society's participation in peacebuilding.

Lisa Bjurwald
Price-winning journalist and author of the book Slava Ukraini, women’s resistance under Russia’s war (2023).

Anna Kvit
Visiting research fellow at University College London (Department of European and International Social and Political Studies) focused on gender equality and women's rights in the military sector of Ukraine during wartime.

Moderator: Amanda Sonesson, project coordinator at ForumCiv
