About us

Women hold the front in the rear.

Ukrainian Valkyrie is a public organization that has been helping Ukrainian women affected by the war since 2022.

Our story

How it all started

“Ukrainian Valkyries” appeared after the de-occupation of the Kyiv region in the spring of 2022. The organization was founded by volunteers from Kyiv to support women who suffered the consequences of the war. The first steps in supporting women were carried out through crisis psychological consultations, security trainings, legal advice and basic assistance.

Over time, a request arose to return women’s agency — the ability to manage their own lives. The answer was the deployment of educational initiatives, digital and civic literacy projects, career workshops and grants.

Today, “Ukrainian Valkyries” is a network in 15 regions of Ukraine and over 50 partners. We work with all affected women: IDPs, wives and relatives of military personnel and veterans, providing comprehensive support from recovery to economic independence and leadership.
