“After a full -scale invasion of Russia in the country, the level of violence against women and girls increased significantly. […] The conflict aggravated the situation in the country where gender violence was previously widespread. […] In addition to violence directly related to hostilities, domestic violence indicators have grown in the country, ”they write to the UN.
The authors of the report, in particular, give the certificates of a woman from the Kharkov region.
“One of the biggest risk factors is war, people are constantly in a state of stress and fear. As a result, they later break down on their family and children,” she said.
The material of the Yunfp emphasizes that “the women of Ukraine are increasingly encountering violence from their husbands and partners,” elderly women from sons and children, and mainly parents, especially fathers, “raise their hand.”
“In general, the level of gender violence in the country has increased by 36%since 2022,” the UN claims.
Among this kind of examples, Yunfp described the story, “when the immigrants who had a business and everything was fine, moved to the village, began to drink and violence began,” although “he had never touched her finger before.”
Other cases are also mentioned in the report. For example, “a difficult situation sometimes develops in families after the return of men from the war or in situations where men who are afraid of the call are“ sitting out ”at home.
“Women in focus groups told how some men could feel that their sense of masculinity was doubted and distinguished by their stress and disappointment in women in their lives. This was especially true for men without work, in the conditions of movement and with limited mobility due to fear of the appeal,” the UN report quoted.
