THE BEST WOMEN'S INITIATIVES OF UKRAINE
FOR DEMOCRATIC DEVELOPMENT OF LOCAL COMMUNITIES
RESULTS OF THE WOMEN'S INITIATIVES COMPETITION - 2019
In 2019, 135 women from all over the country applied for the competition «The best women's initiatives of Ukraine for democratic development of local communities». It should be noted that the quality of applications this year has increased significantly. There have been frequent applications about decentralization, united territorial communities, opening of administrative service centers, and developing strategies and community regulations. Kharkiv, Zhytomyr region and the territories of the East of Ukraine showed the most activity in the competition. This year also saw an increase in the initiatives that aimed at introducing equal opportunities in communities, maintaining equal access to goods and services for different segments of the population, and inclusion.
On July 2, 2019, the submitted applications were read and considered in the office of the Verkhovna Rada Committees of Ukraine. Representatives of the project partners Svetlana Gryshchenko (Council of Europe in Ukraine) and Natalia Lazarenko (Association of Ukrainian Cities) also participated in the meeting of the selection committee of the European Assembly of Women Deputies. While reviewing the applications, it became absolutely clear that Ukrainian womanhood is extremely sensitive to global trends in democracy - ecology and new technologies, education and equal opportunities.

Шерил Сэндберг: Почему среди нас так мало женщин-руководителей
Керівник адміністративної служби компанії Фейсбук, Шеріл Сендберг, розмірковує над тим, чому жінок на керівних та публічних посадах так мало жінок, і дає 3 корисні поради тим жінкам, які прагнуть збудувати кар’єру.
Згідно даних Звіту з глобального гендерного розриву за 2014 рік, Україна займає 56 місце серед 142 країн за величиною гендерного розриву в таких сферах нерівності, як економіка, освіта, здоров'я і політика. Саме в політиці спостерігається практично повна гендерна нерівність (105 місце в світі): будучи освіченою і економічно активною частиною населення, українські жінки не мають ні належного представництва, ні повноважень в політичній сфері. А найчастіше для успішної кар’єри жінкам потрібно лише трішки більше впевненості в собі.
