Abstract:
The article presents the results of a theoretical and practical exploration of several forms, categories and types of women’s resistance in Ukraine and abroad against occupation and war in Ukraine starting from 2013-2014. The main objective is to explore and explain this resistance. The primary data for analysis were collected by semi-structured interviews with a variety of Ukrainian women in Kyiv, Prague, and Warsaw between April and June 2019. The interviewees were selected through the purposive sampling method. The secondary data was based on analysis of academic articles, data from national and international organizations, charities as well as information from media discourse on Internet websites. Also, one of the main goals of the research was to discover the impact of women's resistance to changing gender stereotypes, models, and gender inequality in the Ukrainian Army and society.
