Collection of English Literature on Gender Issues in Ukraine

The purpose of this collection is to make it easier for academic scholars as well as other interested readers to access knowledge about Ukrainian gender issues in English. Considering that all political and social spheres in Ukraine are intertwined with gender issues, this collection was limited to research that has gender as its primary focus. Publications that address Ukrainians living outside of Ukraine are not included, nor are historical publications unless they link directly to present-time issues. The publications are divided into themes, hence covering gender inequality in labour market participation, political power, family relations, gender-based violence, cultural understandings of feminism, femininity and masculinity, LGBT-issues and activism. To grasp the relative level of gender equality in Ukraine, wide-reaching cross-national reports are included. Within each theme, the content of the publications and their most important findings are briefly described. The material was compiled by Ane Kristiansen
