Ukraine, Lviv – Protest on violence against women

Selected by Sissy Vovou

Feminist Workshop take the street in Lviv

There is a myth that in Ukrainian tradition, women only occupy a sacred and special place as guardians and mothers. Unfortunately, the truth is different: historically, the situation of women in Ukraine is very deplorable. Violence against women was so normalized that it was reflected in popular proverbs and songs, quotes from which we used on posters for the campaign “Let violence against women only remain in folklore”

On Sunday, December 3, activists from the Feminist Workshop took to the streets of Lviv to draw attention to the problem of violence against women. Despite the snow, frost and air raids, we are ready to talk about what is important to us! And we encourage our supporters to do the same. The fight against violence against women is still on the agenda!

Thanks for the photo of Nastia Yurchenko! 🧡

And we thank everyone who participated in the campaign: by designing posters, attending or rebroadcasting them. We do important things and our activism matters. Stay tuned for announcements, we are preparing many interesting events for you within the framework of the 16 days
