"She Made - discovery & recovery of Ukraine" brochure

Since the start of the full-scale Russian invasion, the economic situation of Ukrainian women has deteriorated. As of August 2024, women make up 58% of the 3.7 million internally displaced persons in Ukraine. The rise in unemployment — from 9.8% in 2021 to 24.5% in 2022 — highlights the urgent need to support women’s entrepreneurship and employment.

The UN Women Ukraine team, in partnership with Marie Claire Business and with the financial support of the United Nations Women’s Peace and Humanitarian Fund (WPHF), embarked on an expedition to explore how women and girls are participating in the recovery and rebuilding of Ukraine.

This brochure features ten unique stories of women’s entrepreneurship, craft production, and socially responsible businesses to amplify the voices of women entrepreneurs and underscore their vital role in Ukraine’s recovery.
