Background:
UN Women, grounded in the vision of equality enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, works for the elimination of discrimination against women and girls; the empowerment of women; and the achievement of equality between women and men as partners and beneficiaries of development, human rights, humanitarian action and peace and security.
In Ukraine, UN Women is committed to delivering results across strategic priorities, exercising its triple mandate encompassing normative support, UN system coordination, and operational activities to mobilize urgent and sustained action to achieve gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls. UN Women has long been actively supporting local priority areas in Ukraine from increased political participation to gender mainstreaming in public policy, and economic development. Since the Russian Federation’s fullscale invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022, the war continues to cause civilian casualties and hardship, damage to infrastructure and productive assets, disruption to the economy, causing the largest displacement and refugee crisis in Europe since 1945, and one of the greatest modern challenges to the global and regional peace and security architecture.
Women and girls are the majority of those affected disproportionally by the tenyear war. They experience higher rates of poverty and displacement than men, worsening inequalities, many have lost their homes and jobs lack access to basic social services, and are facing protection concerns,[4] including genderbased violence[5], conflictrelated sexual violence,[6] and human trafficking[7]. Among the 6 million needing humanitarian assistance, women and girls constitute the vast majority. Women make up 56% of the estimated 7 million internally displaced persons (IDPin Ukraine and constitute 93% of the 6 million people returning to Ukraine[i].
Despite the ongoing war, Ukraine’s recovery and reconstruction provide significant opportunities to build back better, more inclusive, and more equal, to strengthen good governance, the rule of law, gender equality, sustainable socioeconomic development, and human rights.
To achieve gender equality and women’s empowerment in Ukraine, the CO will contribute to the UN Cooperation Framework 2025 – 2029 and the Humanitarian Program Cycle. The CO will leverage its triple mandate to promote UN systemwide coherence, results, and accountability. It will address early recovery needs through a nexus approach and the longerterm policy reform priorities of the Government of Ukraine. The UN Women Ukraine Strategic Note 20252029 will focus on Gender responsive recovery, reconstruction, and development programs achieving the three outcome areas:
UN Women will focus its programs on the East of Ukraine, as this region has been more severely affected by the war since 2014 compared to other areas in Ukraine. The subnational program will adopt a communitydriven approach to address the needs of women and girls in the region. UN Women’s suboffice in Dnipro (East of Ukrainwill continue to coordinate, implement, and monitor UN Women’s programs (Governance, Women Peace and Security, Women Economic Empowerment and Humanitarian Responsand engage local stakeholders to consolidate UN Women’s efforts and achievements in promoting gender equality and empowering women in the region. This will involve collaborating with WROs located in the East, as well as strengthening coordination and relationships with the Regional Military Administration of Dnipropetrovsk, Poltava, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, Kharkiv, Chernihiv, and Sumy Oblasts. The goal is to deepen existing relationships with community leaders, the UN systems coordination mechanisms, academia, and state and nonstate actors to advance GEWE at local levels.

In July 2010, the United Nations General Assembly created UN Women, the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women. The creation of UN Women came about as part of the UN reform agenda, bringing together resources and mandates for greater impact. It merges and builds on the important work of four previously distinct parts of the UN system (DAW, OSAGI, INSTRAW and UNIFE, which focused exclusively on gender equality and women’s empowerment.
