Today marks one year since the Russian Federation’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The past twelve months have seen continued escalation of attacks and the destruction of Ukraine’s civil infrastructure, including hospitals, schools, government buildings and power plants. The Ukrainian people have endured immense suffering. We pay tribute to the exceptional dignity, resilience, leadership and courage of Ukrainian women and girls who continue to pay an enormous price for this severe violation of international human rights and humanitarian law, including multiple forms of violence targeting women. We condemn these violations, for which survivors are owed, and the world demands, full accountability.
