A new report is shedding light on just how bad things have gotten in Ukraine as women and children continue to face immense hardship under the grim reality of war.
For some, the existence of shelter doesn't guarantee access. The report cites that Roma people and members of the LGTBQ community disproportionally experience housing discrimination.
Accessibility to gender-specific health care services is another key area of concern in the report. The findings call out issues such as inconsistent access to adequate menstrual products and restricted availability of food that meets pregnant and breastfeeding women's dietary needs. Scarcity of providers and barriers to receiving reproductive, maternal and newborn health care are also cited as widespread problems.
As the ongoing crisis continues to unfold across the country, the economic fallout is coming down along gendered lines. A survey cited in the report that was carried out between March 24th and April 1st found that 18% of displaced women reported a monthly household income of less than UAH 5,000 prior to the start of the war and 65% after. For male respondents, this was 6% and 57%, respectively.
"When it comes to humanitarian needs of displaced people, locals, and households, women do most of the work: they drive, provide hospitals and locals with medication and food, they care about their disabled relatives and children," says a woman quoted in the report.
