Ukraine joins the HeForShe Campaign - music and politics

Famous singer, jury member of the Ukrainian X-Factor and opinion leader Dmytro Shurov and his 14-year-old son Lev Shurov started the HeForShe movement as role-models and HeForShe advocates. A series of videos capture informal dialogues between father and son about women in politics and art, women champions in sports, shared family duties and domestic work, which all undermine persisting gender stereotypes in Ukrainian society. The videos aim to initiate discussion among Ukrainian youth. The scripts for these videos are created by a famous writer, journalist and human rights activists Larysa Denysenko, who also joined the movement as a HeForShe advocate and influencer in creative arts industry.
