With war raging in Europe after 70+ years of peace, this International Women’s Day is a time to acknowledge the courage, intellect and grit of the array of extraordinary women in key roles in every aspect of this conflict. Here is a list of some of these women who will create tomorrows for us all:
the United Nations Security Council in an emergency meeting after Russia attacked and seized the largest nuclear plant in Ukraine and Europe.
“Over the past nine days, we have witnessed the devastating impacts of President Putin’s war of choice on the Ukrainian people. Yesterday, the UN reported that Russia’s invasion had turned half a million children into refugees. Russia has killed thousands of Ukrainians – and sacrificed thousands more Russian soldiers’ lives in the process.
This includes Kira Rudik, also a member of Ukraine’s Parliament, who remains in Kyiv to represent, advocate for and defend her people, including learning to use a Kalashnikov rifle . There’s also Solomia Bobrovska, who lived in Boston, Massachusetts previously and now serves in Ukraine’s parliament, choosing to remain in Ukraine to support her people. Even a woman who, dressed in military fatigues and a veil and carrying a bouquet of flowers, married her fellow soldier husband surrounded by armed soldiers with rifles.
