From July 24 to 26, 2025, an important networking event brought together members of the Empowering Education Network from across Ukraine. Over the course of three days, women collaborated to strengthen and expand educational programs focused primarily on supporting vulnerable groups in particular, women facing difficult life circumstances.
The event was organized by the Information and Advisory Women’s Center with support from the Chirikli Fund. Our mediators joined the collaborative work alongside women from the fields of education, science, security, and the broader civil society sector.
The gathering served not only as a space for learning and experience-sharing, but also marked a milestone — 30 years of Empowering Education. This movement became one of the founding pillars of Chirikli’s work when we began in 2003.
Networking, mutual support, and greater visibility for women across all sectors these are the foundations of our path toward genuine equality. And we firmly believe: only together can we truly transform society.
