Join us for a conversation about the impact of Ukraine's war on women
February 2024 marks two years since Russia invaded Ukraine. Two years of this war means two years of occupation and airstrikes, loss and terror, sexual violence and displacement. In addition to the approximately 6.3 million refugees remaining outside Ukraine, many in Poland, an estimated 3.6 million people are still displaced within the besieged nation. The United Nations has said that 14.3 million people will need humanitarian aid and protection in 2024.
Join us to hear from two formidable women who have seen this war first-hand. Kateryna Shukh – Vice Chair of our partner organisation in Poland, Bereginia - Mariupol’s Women’s Association. Kateryna is a refugee from Ukraine who has dedicated her time and expertise to supporting other women who’ve crossed the border. Kateryna will be in conversation with Clarissa Ward, one of our Ambassadors and CNN’s Chief International Correspondent. Clarissa has been a leading voice reporting from on the ground in Ukraine and joins us with decades of experience reporting from Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria – to name just a few.
Kateryna and Clarissa will be in conversation with Women for Women International – UK Managing Director, Sara Bowcutt. This event will be recorded.
