For over a decade, we have supported the work for equality on International Women's Day. This year, with the war in Ukraine weighing heavy on our hearts, together with Franckly we will donate 20,000 euros to aid UN Women's work in Ukraine. The funds will help women and their families, as well as those fleeing to neighbouring countries.

If you can, consider lending a helping hand by donating a sum of your choice to UN Women Finland's emergency fund for Ukraine. We also encourage everyone to seek comfort in one another’s presence – whether near or far, don’t hesitate to reach out and embrace each other in these tumultuous times.
