The Day After Conflict: Women’s Meaningful Participation in Post-War Ukraine

Since Russia’s large-scale invasion in 2022, Ukrainian women have worked relentlessly to build on their already considerable contributions to civil society. On June 6, USIP hosted a discussion with various experts on the role of women’s civil society organizations and how women can meaningfully participate in planning for sustainable peace and furthering the Women, Peace and Security agenda.
