Transnational Feminist Solidarity with Ukraine’s Resistance and Recovery

Описание: In the face of the Russian genocidal war on Ukraine, Ukrainian women have actively resisted the imperial aggressor in myriad forms on the frontlines, and in humanitarian, political or civil society efforts. But as discussions on Ukraine’s post-war recovery are taking place as part of the related international solidarity, the key question is, will the aftermath of the war also include women? It is now urgent to bring in the feminist lens in these discussions and ensure that Ukrainian women’s agencies are respected and included in the recovery.

The event will bring together speakers from Ukraine and the Czech Republic to discuss the gendered aspects of the post-war recovery of Ukraine as well as the impacts of the Russian invasion on refugees and the receiving countries. How do Ukrainian feminists think about the aftermath of the war? What are the immediate war-related and long-term gendered insecurities they prioritize? What international responses are crucial for Ukraine’s gender-responsive recovery in and outside of the country?

Speakers:
💫 Oksana Dutchak, Sociologist, co-editor of Commons: Journal of Social Criticism, Ukraine.
💫 Nina Potarska, Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom, Ukraine.
💫 Eva Čech Valentová, Programme Director at the Prague-based NGO Association for Migration and Integration, Czech Republic.
Her focus is on gendered aspects of migration and refugee issues and the involvement of local administration in integration processes.
💫 Vojtěch Boháč, Journalist at the independent media outlet Voxpot, Czech Republic.
His long-term focus is on Eastern Europe and Russia, and he has covered the war extensively directly from Ukraine.

💫 Moderator: Míla O’Sullivan, Researcher, Institute of International Relations, Prague

The event takes place in the premises of the Hyb4City CPPT UK project in the Hybernská Campus (Hybernská 4, Prague 1).
