On July 16 will host an international panel discussion titled \u201cNot Alone: The Power of Community for Women Affected by War.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The event will focus on women who have survived missile attacks and sustained life-altering injuries \u2014 and explore how both Ukrainian and international communities can help them return to a dignified, full life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is the first open conversation intentionally inviting an international audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The organizers aim to make a reasoned appeal to global foundations and corporate donors for immediate support. Follow-up discussions with Ukrainian businesses and government representatives are also in the works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the center of the event is the true story of a civilian survivor of a drone attack in Kyiv.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alyona Palamarchuk, a 21-year-old woman from Kyiv, was severely wounded in a Shahed drone explosion. Her life was saved by hospital doctors \u2014 including through the use of VAC (negative pressure wound) therapy \u2014 but full recovery remains out of reach. Her story is not only a testimony of pain but also a call to action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Discussion Topics:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The organizers emphasize: \u201cIf support is to happen \u201chere and now,\u201d international engagement is essential\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This event is just the first step toward building a cross-border partnership capable of offering injured women in Ukraine a real chance at recovery and renewal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":340584,"menu_order":0,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"tags":[35641,32709,35642],"section":[648],"yoast_head":"\n
