The “Ukraine is Not Silent” presentation and high-level panel discussion, hosted at the Ukrainian Institute of America, was a powerful gathering of prominent Ukrainian and international voices to spotlight Ukraine’s unwavering resilience in the fight against CRSV and launch the published work of interviews from CRSV survivors, and legal, medical, and political experts working with survivors in Ukraine.
“It’s about women representing Ukraine—our dignity, our resilience, our unbreakable spirit,” said Liudmyla Huseinova, the founder of NGO Нумо, Сестри (“Numo, Sestri”), when asked what key message CRSV survivors would want to share with the world.
The event was hosted by the Deputy Prime Minister’s Office for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration of Ukraine, the Government Commissioner for Gender Equality Policy of Ukraine, and the Permanent Mission of Ukraine to the UN. Along with GIWPS, the event was co-sponsored by the Permanent Mission of the Republic of Lithuania to the UN, the World Federation of Ukrainian Women’s Organizations, the Ukrainian National Women’s League of America (UNWLA), Ukrainian Women’s Fund, the Self Reliance New York Federal Credit Union, and the Ukrainian Institute of America.
