Inner Wars: Women and the War in Ukraine

Screening of a Ukrainian documentary followed by observations and commentary by Dr Sonia Mycak and Dr Kasia Williams from ANUCES.

The current full-scale invasion of Ukraine is part of a war which began in 2014, when Russia annexed Crimea and occupied areas within eastern Ukraine. Volunteers from across Ukraine joined the military in its armed struggle against Russian and Russian-proxy forces. Amongst them were women. In this documentary, Kondakova traces the daily life of three Ukrainian women fighters. Each has battles of their own to contend with, aside from fighting for Ukraine.

The screening will be followed by observations and commentary by Dr Sonia Mycak and Dr Kasia Williams from the ANU Centre for European Studies.
