War in Ukraine Becomes Deadlier for Women and Girls After 1,500 Days of Conflict
The first three months of 2026 marked the deadliest winter for women and girls in Ukraine since the early stages of the full-scale Russian invasion, with 199 women and girls killed between January and March alone, according to the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine. This figure surpasses the number of women and girls killed during the same period in 2025, 2024, and 2023 combined, signaling a dramatic and alarming escalation in civilian casualties among the most vulnerable populations.
Main Facts and Key Details
The 199 women and girls killed in the first quarter of 2026 represent a sharp increase from previous years, with overall female casualties having already risen by 27 percent in 2025 compared to 2024. Beyond the death toll, systematic attacks on civilian energy infrastructure have compounded the suffering of survivors. A UN Women assessment found that energy attacks significantly increased household burdens, stress, and financial hardship for women across Ukraine, with particularly devastating effects on women in caregiving roles and those with limited access to stable electricity. A staggering 73 percent of women reported having no backup energy supply during disruptions, compared to significantly lower rates among men.
Reactions and Context
UN Women has highlighted the extraordinary resilience of Ukrainian women who continue to lead critical response efforts despite the mounting dangers. Women are keeping public transport running, teaching children in underground classrooms, caring for elderly relatives, demining contaminated land, and repairing energy systems. Tetiana Moruzhenko, an energy worker from the frontline city of Sloviansk in the Donetsk region, leads a team of 27 energy workers responsible for restoring power to homes, hospitals, and schools after attacks. "What is damaged at night needs to be repaired by morning. And I stay here to do it," she told UN Women. However, nearly eight in ten women-led organizations in Ukraine report that funding reductions are seriously affecting their ability to provide services to women and girls.
Challenges and Outlook
The situation presents a growing crisis as official donor assistance to support women in Ukraine has declined while inequalities deepen. UN Women continues to provide protection services, humanitarian aid, and policy guidance to ensure women's needs are addressed in recovery and reconstruction efforts. The organization is also advocating for women's inclusion in political processes and peace negotiations, emphasizing that lasting peace cannot be achieved when women are excluded from decision-making. As the conflict surpasses 1,500 days, UN Women warns that sustained international support, protection, and investment are urgently needed to prevent further loss of life and ensure that Ukrainian women and girls are not left behind in the global response.
The international community faces a critical test of its commitment to protecting women and girls in conflict zones, as the war in Ukraine enters its latest and deadliest chapter for civilian women.
