Daryna Dvornichenko, PhD, Ass. Professor shared her reflections on women’s engagement in politics and the economy before and after 24 February in Ukraine. Despite the introduction of various instruments for mainstreaming gender-balanced policies, their effectiveness was relatively low in pre-war Ukraine. The numerous persistent factors that hamper women’s political participation prove that Ukraine still had much to do to create a level playing field for men and women in politics and the economy. Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022 has dramatically changed the political and economic landscape. There is a high risk of rollback of those not-so-numerous achievements gained before 24.02.2022. The findings from the interviews with women politicians and entrepreneurs presented at the meeting will provide a clear picture of the challenges women face in pre-war and post-invasion Ukraine.

Founding PRME B4P Working Group, Co-Chair John Katsos from the American University of Sharjah, and Sophie Kacki from PRME Secretariat also provided a few remarks.
