Dangerously high stress levels and widespread mental health challenges continue to take a devastating toll on civilians in Ukraine, particularly on women and girls, UN humanitarians warned on Friday.
“It’s a terrifying dilemma: do we decide to stay and endure this pregnancy during this constant shelling, or do we uproot our entire life and leave?” says Ulla Muller from the UN sexual and reproductive health agency (UNFPA) in Ukraine, highlighting the situation confronting many women there today.
To mark International Women’s Day on 8 March, Ms. Muller talks to UN News’s Nathalie Minard about the “super women” of Ukraine who have been forced to give birth amid shelling – and to support their families and the wider economy – three years since the Russian full-scale invasion began.
