Description
Ukraine represents a unique case in which a state is implementing the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda under conditions of a large-scale, ongoing war. Since 2014, and particularly following Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022, the unprecedented scope and intensity of Russian armed aggression have simultaneously accelerated institutional development and exposed structural gaps in gender-responsive governance. This has placed enormous pressure on national structures and services. Concurrently, the war has exposed the essential role of civil society and women’s organizations in the implementation of the WPS agenda in Ukraine, as well as the importance of localization and how women leaders shape this process.
