How has war changed the lives of Ukraine鈥檚 working women?
The war has caused massive upheaval to Ukraine鈥檚 economy - not least to the lives of millions of working women.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 saw millions of Ukrainian women and children flee to safety; causing massive upheaval and hitting the economy hard.
For the women who have stayed, their lives have been transformed; many have taken on new roles, like Tetiana, who is now working underground in a coal mine, and Evgeniya, who is now a sniper on the frontline.
Others, like Alina Kacharovska, have managed to grow their businesses; in this case, shoes and accessories, or are stepping into leadership positions, like Yulia Burmistenko, in the crisis group at energy company D-Tek.
In this edition of Business Daily, we also hear from Iryna Drobovych from the Ukrainian Women鈥檚 Congress, and Yuliya Sporysh, founder & CEO of NGO Divchata, on how the war could change things for gender equality in Ukraine.
