‘Feminists about the war’ is a series of informal conversations of feminists. Eye witness evidence and reflections of those women who were involved in social movements before and during the full-scale Russian invasion is as much important as reporting about big political decisions.

In the first episode:

🔹Yosh — a head of the ‘Feminist Workshop’ NGO, who used to live in Lviv until February 24. Yosh was forced to flee from the war-torn Ukraine to Berlin. 

🔹Maryna Usmanova — a head of feminist, LGBT inclusive ‘Different’ NGO, who used to live in Kherson. Her home is now temporarily occupied by russian army. Because of being in danger of captivity and physical harm, she was forced to move to Berlin too. 

🔹Anna Sharygina — program director of the feminist NGO ‘Sphere’ and co-founder of the LGBTQ+ NGO ‘Kyivpride’. Anna stays in Kharkiv — city on the Ukrainian-russian border, that is being bombed by russians from the very first day of russian invasion.

'Feminist Workshop' is a non-governmental organization. Since the 2014 we are working on creation of space for the development of the feminist community in Lviv and Ukraine. After the full scale russian invasion we also help with humanitarian aid and work on the shelter for women, who have lost their home.
