UNWLA is proud to have sponsored the 2025 Translating Ukraine Summer Institute, held July 7–18 at the Ossolineum in Wrocław, Poland.

To mark our 100th anniversary, the UNWLA’s Culture and Archives Committees, in collaboration with the Museum of the Ukrainian Diaspora in Kyiv, organized UKRAЇNКИ – a landmark historical and art exhibition celebrating the strength, creativity, and lasting impact of Ukrainian women’s leadership and activism in the U.S. and around the world. “For 100 years, members of the Ukrainian National Women’s League of America have worked tirelessly to support the people of Ukraine, preserve our rich cultural heritage, and promote the vibrancy of modern Ukrainian culture. This commitment to service, advocacy, and cultural stewardship has helped sustain public awareness and support for Ukraine across generations. We are incredibly proud to share this legacy with our sisters in Ukraine and to contribute to building a united global community of Ukrainian women – strong, resilient, and deeply connected by purpose and pride in who we are.” – Natalie Pawlenko, UNWLA President Read more about the exhibition here https://bit.ly/UKRAЇNКИ

In 2023, following numerous confirmations of the illegal transfer of Ukrainian children from temporarily occupied territories by Russia, we launched the initiative Return Ukraine's Children under the UNWLA National Advocacy Committee. This allowed us to focus our members' efforts on advocating for H.Res.149 (https://lnkd.in/dwFNUVD3), which successfully passed the House in March 2024. Marta Fedoriw, chair of the Return Ukraine's Children initiative, spoke on CNN about the tragedy of abducted Ukrainian children and called for their safe return home.

The three years of war against Ukraine are leaving terrible scars, taking a devastating toll on everyone. UNWLA is especially concerned about the children and the women who have experienced the horrors of war. We are working with trusted partners in Ukraine who have the experience to provide mental health and rehabilitative services.
