Women and men, girls and boys have been deeply impacted by the escalation of war in Ukraine in 2022, causing an immediate humanitarian crisis and massive disruption to peace efforts. Ukraine has become one of the world’s most complex emergencies, and the crisis presents severe gendered challenges, including worsening inequalities and discrimination, compounded vulnerabilities and disproportionate violence affecting women and girls.

This report is based on a survey of displacement patterns, needs and intentions commissioned by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) in partnership with UN Women. Face-to-face surveys were conducted by trained enumerators from CBS-AXA Research at entry, exit, transit points and accommodation centres with Ukrainian refugees and third-country nationals.

The Rapid Gender Analysis seeks to draw attention to the gender dynamics in the war in Ukraine—both preexisting and emerging—and draws out recommendations for humanitarian leadership, actors and donors to ensure consideration of the gendered dimensions of risk, vulnerability and capabilities in response and preparedness to this crisis.

Since the beginning of the Russian military invasion in Ukraine, women’s groups and civil society organizations have been quick to react to the immediate priorities of their communities, but face many challenges as they attempt to provide support to large numbers of internally displaced people, host-communities and those directly affected by violence and insecurity. UN Women has conducted a rapid survey to help inform the decision-making of national and international stakeholders, and advocate for the support of civil society during the war.
