Women during the war: between defense of the country and lack of social security
Channel: Спільне

War creates new challenges for women, such as displacement, unemployment or necessity to defend your community. And deepens the old ones — the burden of reproductive labour and sexualised violence. In the war, women and girls take on multiple roles: they can be victims, soldiers, activists, refugees. In countries at war and beyond — we suffer and fight increasing injustice on so many levels. 
This panel focuses on relationships between womanhood and war — from everyday lives to structural and historical processes.

Speakers:
•  Marta Havryshko, Ukraine.
•  Weronika Grzebalska, Poland.
•  Anwar Mhajne, Palestine.

Moderated by sociologist and editor of Commons Journal Olenka Gu.
