Let this be my first tweet here.

Challenging and hopeful discussions on Ukraine’s recovery are happening this week in London. I am bringing an intersectional feminist perspective to these (often male-dominated) economic discussions, informed by my work with Kvinna till Kvinna International and Феміністична Мережа. Stay tuned for updates.

Happy to be attending the official civil society side event at Chatham House leading up to the #URC2023

Ukraine’s recovery is not about waiting for the war to end, but about building a vision that includes the immediate and the long term (c) #URC2023

The role of culture or education are not on the agenda of reconstruction. How do we preserve our identity in this genocidal war if there areas are not included in the recovery? - Tetyana Filevska Ukrainian Institute #URC2023

Building an inclusive and barrier free society is not an expense, but an investment in people. - Yuliia Sokolovska, Deputy Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine #URC2023

Women are on the frontline, volunteering and working for the victory. Their potential should not be overlooked and used to the fullest in the recovery process. (c) Narmina Strishenets Save the Children UK #URC2023

Do not punish an entire country because some individuals are corrupt. Corruption is not just in Ukraine, look around you - we are in London (audience laughs). (c) Mustafa Nayem #URC2023 1/2

We are very disappointed when we do 100% of what we can, and our partners say “you have corruption”, because of some Firtash guy. Yes we do, but you can also see our strengths and support them. (c) Mustafa Nayem #URC2023 2/2

While gender issues are sadly virtually absent from the Chatham House event, there is a separate side event on gender roles in Ukrainian war thanks to The EBRD, government of Ukraine and women’s civil society. Looking forward to this discussion! #URC2023

Every table, every panel, every meeting must include voices of women and diverse groups of society. Now is the right time for inclusive recovery. Ukraine must emerge from this war as a fair and equal society where no one is left behind. (c)Lord Ahmed, PM’s representative on CRSV

It is important that women’s leadership role during the war continues into the recovery. We also know there needs to be specific attention paid to those more marginalised. (c) Sabine Freiser, UN Women Ukraine

We dream about the future of Ukraine where women with disabilities occupy high level decision making positions and are equally involved in decisions at all levels. (c) incredible Yuliia Sachuk speaks on behalf of her community #URC2023

From London to Berlin (via Lviv;) - feminist solidarities and movement building continues 🔥
