Why is it interesting? On August 20-21, Kyiv hosted a pivotal forum celebrating the 140th anniversary of the Ukrainian Women’s Movement, titled “The Women’s Movement is Active in All Women.” This landmark event provided a platform for exchanging experiences, discussing strategic directions, and exploring new avenues for advancing the Ukrainian women’s movement both domestically and internationally. For reference: In 1884, Nataliya Kobrynska, a Ukrainian writer, established the Association of Ruthenian Women in Stanislaviv (now Ivano-Frankivsk), marking the inception of the Ukrainian Women’s Movement. This initiative recognized that a woman’s voice is a powerful advocate for women’s rights, Ukrainian sovereignty, cultural preservation, and the future. |
