Realizing Women, Peace, & Security in Ukraine: Voices of Women on the Frontlines
As war rages on in Ukraine, women and girls face particularly devastating consequences. At the same time, they are engaged in heroic efforts, serving on the frontlines of humanitarian relief, human rights monitoring, and in the armed services.
The crisis in Ukraine is a stark reminder of the relevance of UN Security Council Resolution 1325 on women, peace and security, which calls for the meaningful inclusion of women in all areas of peacebuilding and conflict prevention. Join Ukrainian women leaders, policymakers, and experts who will discuss the critical roles of Ukrainian women leaders working across politics, defense, protection, and humanitarian response to promote peace.
