Stigma Towards Female Clients Who Inject Drugs Among Healthcare Providers in Ukraine
Background: In Ukraine women account for quarter of all people who inject drugs. Apart from several non-governmental organizations that provide advocacy and empowerment services to women who inject drugs (WWID), there are no integrated full-service health care facilities tailored specifically to the needs of WWID in Ukraine. They often have diminished access to drug use treatment, health and social services due to bureaucratic rules and processes…

Moral Economies of Care and Women Who Use Drugs in Ukraine
This article analyzes interviews with women who use drugs in Ukraine to understand the care conundrum they face as members of a stigmatized group. In the interviews, the women sought to position themselves as deserving and needing care as members of a vulnerable category—sometimes as women who use drugs or people living with HIV, but also as mothers—yet also themselves capable of providing care for others. We examine how women who use drugs in Uk…

Pure’ drug users, commercial sex workers and ‘ordinary girls’: Gendered narratives of HIV risk and prevention in post-Soviet Ukraine
International best practices call for a gender-responsive approach to HIV prevention for women, including those who use drugs and those who engage in sex work. This paper draws on multiple qualitative data sources collected over five years in Ukraine to explore the notions of gender, women and family that buttress HIV-related programmes for women. Our analysis reveals that service providers often cast women as hapless victims of unfortunate famil…

The Women's Squad in Ukraine's protests: Feminism, nationalism, and militarism on the Maidan
Although women and men participated in nearly equal numbers in Ukraine's 2013-14 Maidan protests, women were excluded from some of the more dangerous activities and their contributions went largely unrecognized. I examine women's modes of participation in and their exclusion from the Maidan and the creative responses of feminists to this exclusion, including creation of so-called Women's Squads. The protests generated important feminist initiativ…
Representations of disability in print news media in postsocialist Ukraine
This article examines the narrative discourses that shape representations of disability in newspapers in postsocialist Ukraine, arguing that narratives about disability are linked to a meta-discourse of 'transition' that emphasizes disorder. Further, newspaper coverage prescribes competing and contradictory models of citizenship and personhood for postsocialist subjects living with disabilities. The article offers recommendations for improving pr…

Analysis is based on the existing literature, including reports from the European Commission and national and international watchdog groups. Although considerable progress has been made in antidiscrimination l…

Analysis is based on the existing literature and personal communication with scholars and activists in the countries of in…

Civil society and healing: Theorizing women's social activism in post-soviet Ukraine
This article suggests a new tack on 'NGO-graphy' by setting up a dialogue between medical anthropological theories and the existing literature on postsocialist civil societies. Using data from Ukraine, I integrate recent critiques of 'civil society' discourses with an ethnographic investigation of the ambiguous personal transformations that social activism has generated for some women NGO leaders. The article asserts that, by applying the insight…

Women and Development in Postsocialism: Theory and Power East and West
To date, ethnographic research in Kyiv, Ukraine since 1998 has analyzed popular, political, and academic engagement of the “civil society” construct in the postsocialist context by examining ten nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) led by women. Further goals of this research have been to outline the challenges facing women in the post-Soviet period, and to examine the long-term effects of the Soviet gender contract. I argue that, in many cases, …
Waxing Like the Moon: Women Folk Healers in Rural Western Ukraine
Once a woman came to see me...she says to me, "I can't sleep, and I'm so weak."I asked her, "Did something frighten you?" "No," she said-she didn't want to tell me.I began to pour the wax, I said, "Something has frightened you-either a man, or a dead person."She remained silent.I began to pour the wax a second time, and it splattered all over the house!She says, "I'm feeling better."I said, "Why didn't you tell me?You really were frightened by th…
Chernobyl's Sixth Sense: The Symbolism of an Ever‐Present Awareness
This article examines the symbolic life of the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster. I argue that Chernobyl symbols serve as a set of resources: they produce memory, and they are the grounds for making a new society. My analyses are based on representations of Chernobyl in academic and popular discourse, literature, and museums. Through discussions of embodiment and collective memory, I argue that Chernobyl has produced a sort of sixth sense or “aware…
