On 6 February 2024, a historic moment unfolded as the European Parliament, Council of the European Union, and European Commission formally signed a historic document to combat gender-based violence. The Association of Ukrainian Women in Belgium takes immense pride in being a part of the initial petition prepared by European Women's Lobby. This significant achievement stands as a testament to the collective efforts, including the impactful address by our Deputy Chairwoman Oleksandra Domagalo-Jacquemin in June 2023 at the European Parliament, shedding light on the challenges faced by #Ukrainian women amid the Russian invasion and the subsequent rise in domestic violence linked to #PTSD.

The Association of Ukrainian Women in Belgium cordially invites you to the series of #Ukrainian film screenings in #Brussels, Belgium. From Wednesday, February 14th, to Wednesday, May 8th, Comité belge du Réseau européen de solidarité Ukraine is organizing a Ukrainian film festival at the Université libre de Bruxelles. Six movies have been selected, showcasing the diverse landscape of Ukrainian cinema. This includes two classics from the sixties produced in Soviet Ukrainian studios, two recent fiction films, and two recent documentaries. These films aim to immerse viewers in the Ukrainian perspective, providing insight into the strength and tensions within Ukrainian society. They also seek to explain that the current war is not just about territorial conquest by Russia but is also a conflict aimed at dismantling a society perceived as an existential threat by the Kremlin due to its diversity. Each film screening will be followed by a discussion, and when possible, filmmakers will participate via video conference. Additionally, concrete solidarity projects with Ukraine will be presented. All screenings take place in auditorium AZ1.301 (Building A on Franklin-Roosevelt Avenue), with free entry. A voluntary contribution will be requested, and the entire amount will go towards concrete solidarity projects in Ukraine. The films will be shown in their original language (Ukrainian or Russian) with French subtitles. The initiative received funding from the ULB Cultural Commission and was supported by the Dovjenko Center in Kyiv. More details at: https://lnkd.in/eBaQke33

Today, we celebrate the life and enduring impact of a famous #Ukrainian writer and feminist icon, Olha Kobylianska. Her literary brilliance went hand in hand with her advocacy for women's rights. She fearlessly challenged societal norms, becoming a pioneer of #feminist thought in her era. Kobylianska's works were a powerful catalyst for change, igniting conversations about gender equality and amplifying the importance of women's voices at a time when such discussions were groundbreaking. Her dedication to advancing the cause of Ukrainian women's rights through her writing continues to inspire generations. On this special day, let's pay tribute to her invaluable contributions to literature and feminist movements. Olha Kobylianska's legacy is a guiding light, reminding us to strive for equality and empowerment for all.
