The Gender in Humanitarian Action Working Group in Ukraine: A Case Study of Good Practices and Lessons Learned
Gender equality is a cornerstone of effective and equitable humanitarian response in Ukraine. Women and girls make up over 64% of all internally displaced persons and often face greater needs and barriers to accessing aid — especially those from Roma communities, ethnic minorities, women with disabilities, and those living with HIV.
This report, developed by the Gender in Humanitarian Action working group co-led by UN Women Ukraine, CARE Ukraine and Girls NGO – compiles best practices and key lessons learned from three years of Russia’s full-scale war. It highlights the role of women’s rights organizations, women’s leadership in policy-making, the importance of gender analysis, and ongoing challenges in financing and participation in decision-making.
