Ukrainian women and civil society organizations (CSOs) are on the frontlines of the war advancing peace and security. Women have taken on new roles and mobilized across the country to lead humanitarian relief efforts, document atrocities, manage key government and anti-corruption bodies and fight in the armed forces. Women-led grassroots organizations have expanded their presence at the community level and are utilizing their networks to aid vulnerable civilians. With access to marginalized and hard to reach communities, they are best placed to inform effective, fair and sustainable distribution of resources.
