The European Union will allocate 6 million in funding for programmes to support Ukrainian women.
Source EU Ambassador to Ukraine Katarna Mathernov at the Ukrainian Womens Congress in Cherkasy Details This funding will include projects to strengthen womens leadership and help vulnerable groups of women in Ukraine.
We have collected a package of 6 million to support Ukrainian women and programmes to strengthen their leadership and support vulnerable groups of women, including survivors of violence.
It should also help create support structures for those who want to take on leadership in communities, explained Katarna Mathernov.
The ambassador added that it is important to develop leadership at all levels, as this is what helped Ukraine survive the fullscale invasion.
I have heard many times that Ukraine was able to survive thanks to activism and leadership, which was created through the decentralisation reform in various hromadas, said Mathernov.
A hromada is an administrative unit designating a village, several villages, or a town, and their adjacent territories ed.
Strengthening womens leadership includes many components.
One of them, Katarna Mathernov says, is the support of other women.
In any case, dont forget about other women.
It is important for women to support other women, but we dont always do it, the envoy said.
Background The Ukrainian Womens Congress started on 28 March in Cherkasy.
During the panel discussions, participants discuss topics related to womens leadership in local government and entrepreneurship, financial literacy training, support for vulnerable groups of women in rural areas, and strengthening national identity.
Every year, starting in 2017, the Ukrainian Womens Congress holds the main Congress in Kyiv, as well as events in the oblasts of Ukraine.
