The role of Ukrainian women-led organisations in humanitarian action in Ukraine and Poland in 2022-2024
This study takes a bottom-up approach to humanitarian action by examining the experiences of Ukrainian women-led organisations (WLOs) in Ukraine and Poland in response to the crisis that followed the fullscale invasion launched by Russia against Ukraine on February 24, 2022. In the dramatic circumstances of the aftermath of the invasion, the experiences and resources of Ukrainian women proved vital in enabling a grassroots humanitarian response across the two countries. The report aims to describe the humanitarian response as seen from the perspective of Ukrainian WLOs.
