Abstract
Since acquiring independence after the collapse of the USSR in 1991, Ukraine has achieved visible progress in establishing gender equality in the different spheres of Ukrainian society. At the national level, gender equality is guaranteed first of all by the Constitution of Ukraine (1996) and the Law of Ukraine “On ensuring equal rights and opportunities for women and men” (2005). At the international level Ukraine has ratified major international documents on providing equal rights and opportunities for men and women, including the UN Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination against Women and the UN Sustainable Development Goals. A very big success for Ukraine was its ratification July 2022 of the Council of Europe’s Convention on Preventing and Combating Violence Against Women and Domestic Violence (aka the Istanbul Convention).
