A new initiative titled Power Women is being launched in Ukraine, as announced during the recent Ukraine Recovery Conference in Rome. The project aims to support women in acquiring skills in the energy sector and to strengthen their presence in this strategically vital field.

They are founding businesses, mastering new technologies under fire, clearing rubble after attacks, and simultaneously preparing long-term development strategies. Crucially, they are doing so not in place of men, but alongside them — enhancing collective results.

A clear example of this transformation is a recent high-level appointment: the Verkhovna Rada has confirmed Yuliia Svyrydenko as Prime Minister of Ukraine. She becomes only the second woman in independent Ukraine’s history to hold this office. This is more than a symbolic move — it is a signal that women’s leadership in Ukraine is no longer the exception but part of a new political and social reality.
