Ukrainian women's roles in wartime and reconstruction

Overview

Ukrainian women are increasingly occupying critical roles across political, military, medical, and economic sectors as the country manages the ongoing Russian invasion.

Initial reports highlighted individual entrepreneurial and humanitarian efforts, such as Liliya Chertenko’s initiative to manufacture orthopedic shoes for soldiers with limb amputations and Alina Maksymenko’s continued operation of a cosmetics brand.

As the situation evolves, these contributions have expanded into broader strategic areas. This includes political advocacy by Member of Parliament Anna Purtowa regarding veterans and prisoners of war, tactical medicine instruction by former combat medic Lena Dembitska, and specialized technical work such as marine biologist Nataliya Dykul’s role as a UNDP adviser for underwater mine clearance in the Black Sea. Other women continue to manage essential economic and agricultural activities, such as operating goat farms near Kherson, while navigating the challenges of wartime life.
