Discussions about the celebration of march 8 are still going on. According to a survey by the Kyiv International institute of sociology, every p. Ukrainians, or ukrainian women are ready to celebrate womens day, so what is actually celebrated, what is the Current Situation with equality in ukraine, our journalists will tell us, we were born in a great hour, from the fires of war, from the smoke of fires, connected, after the loss of ukraine, we were fed by anger and greed. Ukrainian women, brave, strong, free. This is what International Womens day is called for to remind the world of the outstanding achievements of women and draw attention to the issue of gender equality and sexism. However, since the times of the ussr. Ukrainians misunderstand him and buy tulips to congratulate the most tender and sweetest. There were a lot of these problems, but there was no way to talk about them. There was an opportunity only once a year to give women flowers, er, to congratulate them, how beautiful they are, how they decorate the team, and to make this holiday for them one day a year, and since in reality the reality in the soviet union was so very difficult, difficult, depressed, there were a lot of problems, then this one day of the holiday, it was very valuable for women, since 1997 according to the decision of the un. The official name of march 8 is the International Day of struggle for womens rights and international peace, and since 2008 , feminist marches have been held annually in ukraine on this day, which were almost traditionally accompanied by clashes. The subjectivity of women increased significantly during the independence of ukraine, and with the beginning of the antiterrorist operation and the fullscale invasion , girls were taken. And for not at all girlish professions. Currently, more than 60 are serving in the ranks of the armed forces thousands of women. The armed forces is changing, the world is changing. There are many women there, and now they do not have to be registered as seamstresses or tailors, as it was before, even if a woman held a different position, but she was still registered for a traditional female role in the armed forces. But now its not like that, and some people still have a hard time accepting it, but luckily with. There are women machine gunners, there are women snipers, there are women in all kinds of positions. Those of the cutest who were not at the front became volunteers. Ukrainian girls understand weapons and find parts for tanks. They transport suvs and buses, weave camouflage nets and collect cargo on the front. When you come to the volunteer warehouse, you see what boxes the girls there are carrying, what they. Are carrying, what they are transporting, what they are sending, then maybe before they would not have taken on such a weight, but now they do, i think, if even there, by the end of this year, we will win, the war will end, these girls will continue to do their thing, because we are already citizens. Ukrainian women do not remain aloof from the political life of the country. 85 women work in the Verkhovna Rada of the ninth convocation, which is 21 . We also have four women ministers, this is the best indicator since independence, but it is still far from the representative 50 . In order to get into the ukrainian parliament, a man can be of an average level of qualification, lets put it mildly. Of course, women are also very different, but if we take the average level, then it is much higher. That is, this is actually evidence that, first of all, there are qualified women who know how to adequately represent ukrainian. The position of protecting the country, working for the benefit of society, but it is difficult for them, it is more difficult for them to overcome obstacles, stereotypes, ideas that they dont belong there, and so on and so forth. Ukraine consistently implements gender policy in legislation. In addition to introducing gender quotas in Party Electoral lists at the level of 40 , the state has increased responsibility for Domestic Violence and genderbased violence. And it finally ratified the istanbul one. Convention, they continue to move in this direction. Lets not give our vote to anyone, and be really active participants in all those positive transformations that have take place in ukraine. Ukrainian women are, of course, protectors, mothers and guardians of the family. However, at the same time, ukrainian women are brave military personnel, powerful politicians, professional experts, extraordinary athletes, etc. This spring. On this day, the world celebrates their feats and achievements, because even a hundred years ago, such basic rights had to be fought for. Kateryna galko, oscar jansons, oleksandr burlevich, espresso tv channel. March 8 is a day off and a Public Holiday in north korea, which, on the other hand, this is International Womens day, which is also celebrated, for example, in germany, and therefore, the remnants of the soviet union, not the remnants of the soviet union, how to celebrate, how not to celebrate. By the way, its a Public Holiday, its recorded, but we invited volodymyr yatrovych, historian, peoples deputy of ukraine, to the conversation. Mr. Volodymyr, i congratulate you. Good evening. Well, therefore, is it possible to decumenize march 8, which signs of the soviet union are there today in this holiday . Well, because globally, these are the rights of women, but the soviet union has left some of its dna, what are they, in what they manifest. In fact, the soviet union did not leave anything behind in this holiday. From the rightwing content, from the real struggle for womens rights, that is, the soviet Union Clearly turned it into a kind of holiday that once a year we remember that there are women next to men and lets present them in bouquets, lets call them the decoration of the team, and unfortunately, this here is the tradition of bouquet cakes, instead of talking about womens rights, about the struggle for womens rights, unfortunately, it is still alive and many ukrainians, ukrainian women are not. Ready to give it up, and i think that this, well, this is one of those atavisms of the scoop that we have left, it is obvious that depriving this day of the status of a holiday, which we proposed at one time, would be an impetus in the direction of returning this holiday to its rightful meaning, but so far we see , that despite the fact that we managed to carry out a very significant, lets say, calendar reform, where we will no longer even have may 9 as the day of victory from such fundamental holidays for the soviet system , march 8 still retains such a plaque is rather scoop than european or global, well, please tell me now, before we move on to further serious discussions, in the Verkhovna Rada, if we are talking about the period of the fullscale invasion , when it was march 8, there in the offices somewhere in the committees, i mean there on. On hrushevskyi somewhere anyway, maybe near the hall , they gave flowers, well, to female deputies, that is, its all alive there to assistants and journalists, please, i am sure that if this week for reasons unknown to me, reasons unknown even to me as a deputy, they would not have been canceled meeting, we were supposed to have a meeting today, so i am sure that today we would wear cakes and bouquets, because unfortunately, this salt tradition is definitely rampant. Noisy world and in the Verkhovna Rada, well then lets just remember what kind of holiday it is, and in fact, if even today you say to a woman you know there or someone or a wife or sister, there mother , it doesnt matter, a colleague, happy holiday, thats what you need to put in this sense and so that all people, well , i think that all our viewers understand, but still, i think, it is necessary to remind and articulate, i think that, first of all, it is necessary talk about the need to defend womens rights, i dont even know if i should talk about it. To call it some kind of holiday, because some final achievements are already being celebrated , to say that ukraine has already finally won all the rights necessary for women, well, it is probably a little early, and. It is very symbolic, in fact, that this is the format of the holiday, including cakes , bouquets, a day off, is preserved precisely in those countries that, well, probably are definitely not leaders in the observance of womens rights, then this is the same russia, this is belarus, north korea, azerbaijan, other countries that are far from the fact that they can be called role models in womens rights, therefore it is rather necessary to talk not on this day not not not so much about the holiday and not about the holiday, but about. Those problems that remained, which should be fully and seriously decide, because all this festive atmosphere, well, it seems to me, it somewhat muddies the fact that problems remain. I think that in many cities of ukraine, settlements, some collectives, still, i have absolutely no doubt, somewhere on february 23 they give socks, deodorant, or theres Something Else for men, well, thats it, too , less of it, less of it. Definitely less compared to march 8, because, after all , no matter what we say, despite the inertia, this soviet inertia, but the pace, the rhythm, which is set by the state calendar, state holidays, it does correlate the attitude of society to those or other dates, what we have had for many years, 10 years soon, it seems, is not on the calendar as a Public Holiday on february 23, after all, i turned it into a sock day on february 23, rather. For of a marginal part of ukrainian society, that is, it is definitely not mainstream , you will not see any advertising promotions until that day, thank god, you will not see any big boards, discounts until mens day, all this, all this has gone into the past, thank god, well, you know here, at one time, when ukraine, well, russia was then christianized, and here were these pagan holidays, they simply went to them, as they say, in the mask of christians, there was also ivan kupala, and 40 magpies, 40 saints and green. Noise from the holy spirit, well, there were many such holidays its just that, well, it was served as a christian one, people got used to bathing on ivan s day, let there be all the renewal of ivans head, or there is some other holiday, well, it is, and here i am leading to, that this is how people began to celebrate according to the old memory genetics, but already christian holidays, and what options would you see, how could it be possible to make this holiday ukrainian, well, we have a womens holiday and yes, but for it, well, because you already see it, there is no way. There will still be bouquets and tulips, should we try to somehow adapt, rethink something, change the format, as they say, the wrapper, anyway , over time, either womens rights will really talk about it on this day, or they will simply forget why they gave that tulip, well, im actually talking about whats really worth it, im not talking about some difference on march 8, i am talking about the fact that it should be returned to its original meaning, that it is a day when it is worth analyzing, worth evaluating. What do we really have with womens rights, what is worth, what, what still needs to be done, and with regard to such an adaptation of the holiday, we must also be quite careful with this, you know, because i it was a shame when a tradition was even born for a while, thank god, it did not go further, on october 14, now it is october 1 , on the day of defenders, actually to give socks, that is, to turn it into an analogue on february 23, it did not go far until that, i hope that that will not go and in general especially. Taking into account the fact that now during the war years we are talking about a huge number of tens of thousands of women who defend ukraine , who are defenders, that is why it is definitely not a mans day, that is why these attempts to somehow give old meaning to new holidays, they can also be dangerous because they perpetuate some old meanings. You know, there were rumors that some deputies are not from your faction, not from european solidarity. But they didnt want to have meetings, because they needed loved ones, there, i dont know who , there, maybe friends, well, go somewhere, spend the holiday of march 8, well, which is perceived by the mother, like cakes, tulips, diamonds, well who has any financial opportunities, somewhere in the persian gulf, or maybe somewhere else in some countries, warm, if god forbid, oh well it will happen, as with one deputy who once flew to thailand, while the other one went to bulgaria. If this happens, what will be revealed later, because journalists are everywhere, and someone can upload a video on instagram, like one military servicewoman in paris, and then it turned out that someone drove her there, and that some deputies on march 8 instead to hold meetings are very important, really enjoyed the warmth and shopping with their loved ones abr
