Abstract

This brief examines how international organizations in Ukraine have integrated gender considerations into their work following Russia’s full-scale invasion. The brief identifies several challenges to the delivery of gender-sensitive international assistance in Ukraine, such as: the difficulty of navigating a complex landscape of local partners that has included newly formed and informal civil society organizations; the balancing act of supporting local initiatives without displacing the burden onto overworked Ukrainian activists; the need to achieve a balance between male and female international aid workers at hardship duty stations across Ukraine; the dearth of international aid workers with knowledge of the Ukrainian language and context; and the challenge of raising sensitive questions about gender equality with the Ukrainian government while it withstands the Russian invasion.
