“Ensuring gender equality” and “leaving no one behind” have been part of the guiding principles of Ukraine's recovery from the very beginning. Their implementation in the context of Russia's war against Ukraine remains a challenge. National policy makers and international partners must provide enabling framework legislation, governance and funding mechanisms. However, direct interaction with certain vulnerable groups takes place at the level of municipalities where traumatized or displaced persons, victims of gender-based violence, and families of killed or wounded soldiers live. Local administrations play a leading role here.

Cedos has analyzed critical areas of activity at the local level to ensure gender sensitivity of the recovery process and social protection of vulnerable groups. The expert roundtable will discuss the key findings of this study. The text of the paper will be published on our website after the event.
