On 6 March 2026, Alina Rohach<\/strong>, Project Manager of the Spain and Latin America Cooperation Program at the Transatlantic Dialogue Center, Bohdana Batsko<\/strong>, Project Assistant of the same program, and Olha Kvashuk<\/strong>, \u201cEurope and the World\u201d Program Manager at the International Renaissance Foundation, commented for a column by Israel L\u00f3pez Guti\u00e9rrez published in El Heraldo (a Mexican national daily newspaper).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The column highlights how Ukrainian women\u2019s role has expanded during Russia\u2019s full-scale war: alongside work and family responsibilities, women are increasingly active in volunteering, medicine, civil society leadership, public life, and military service. The article notes that around \u201c70,000\u201d women are currently serving in Ukraine\u2019s Armed Forces<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Batsko stressed that women\u2019s role in Ukraine has been growing since 2014, and described the \u201cdouble burden\u201d many women carry<\/strong> \u2014 caring for children and managing households while also working to provide income as men serve in the armed forces. She also noted that many young women join the military as a values-based choice and with a clear understanding that the outcome of the war depends on women as well, not only men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rohach enfatiz\u00f3 que la guerra ha acelerado los cambios en los roles de las mujeres en la sociedad ucraniana, superando limitaciones vinculadas al legado sovi\u00e9tico. Subray\u00f3 que las mujeres en las Fuerzas Armadas no se limitan a funciones administrativas: muchas sirven en la l\u00ednea del frente y en puestos de liderazgo. Tambi\u00e9n se\u00f1al\u00f3 el creciente liderazgo femenino en la diplomacia p\u00fablica, incluido el aumento del n\u00famero de mujeres que ejercen como embajadoras.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
