Excerpt: “Funding has been a major challenge for women’s rights organizations in Ukraine. Since 2022, there has been a significant decrease in the share of international funding to Ukraine that aims to promote gender equality. According to recent data from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), only 14 per cent of official development assistance (ODA) to Ukraine in 2022–2023 included gender equality objectives—which remains far below the global average of 46 per cent of ODA. Less than 1 per cent of funding went to projects which primarily support gender equality. Now, after the US cuts, 66 per cent of organizations are reducing staff, with half anticipating further layoffs in the next three months. Additionally, 63 per cent of WROs are struggling with unpaid invoices, including rent, utilities, and salaries, and 53 percent report difficulties in meeting contractual obligations.”
