As could be expected, with the same disappointing overall results as were reflected in the whole election. The number of women elected to the Rada is slightly higher than before, up to 25, but still way below the notions of democratic parity. Locally, however, some women did well. More importantly, in all parts of Ukraine, women took an active part in the election and in monitoring the process. Now women are doing what many citizens in Ukraine are doing, discussing the elections. Four days after the elections, the UN office in Kyiv held a press conference for four UN funded projects that worked to highlight the importance of women’s political activism. The media showed up in full force, although other activities, including the post-election press conference of Natalia Vitrenko (the local critic of the regime on the far left), were taking place at the same time. The elections were also the top item on the agenda of the meeting of the regional council chairs of Soyuz Ukrainok, held in Kyiv on April 4, less than a week after the elections. Soyuz Ukrainok is affiliated with Rukh, one of the largest of the moderate parties. Rukh won almost 10 percent of the vote, coming in second after the communists, who won 25 percent without counting their various splinter groups. The decision to go with Rukh was criticized by some of the members of Soyuz Ukrainok, but once the decision had been made, all the regions went along with it. Lilia Hryhorovych, vice president of Soyuz Ukrainok and re-elected deputy on the Rukh ticket, vigorously defended the decision at the meeting. She argued that the four women on the Rukh ticket would not have won without the joint support of Rukh and Soyuz Ukrainok. She also put an optimistic spin on the results, maintaining that now, the parties that did not get at least 4 percent of the vote and therefore would not enter the Parliament at all, would be more likely to consolidate with the eight parties that do have Rada representation. Region after region of Soyuz Ukrainok, from Donetsk and Luhansk to Ivano-Frankivsk and Sevastopol, reported on their activities and on the election results. All regions are working with the local offices of the Ministry of Women and Children in various out-reach projects. It is this Ministry that created a committee composed of representatives of all major women's organizations to serve as an advisory council on an informal basis for the Ministry. The various organizations take turns chairing the meetings, which are held on an ad hoc basis. This marks yet another step toward the eventual creation of a national council of women. Compared to all the work of the organization five years ago, there is a dramatic increase in all fields -- politics, welfare, and especially economic development programs. The organization has expanded, and its membership is becoming visibly younger and more professional. It may not be too far-fetched to say that eventually these women will help the UNWLA rather than the other way around. God willing! The press conference that ended this meeting served as the venue for disbursement of scholarship funds provided by the UNWLA Scholarship Program for pupils and students recommended by Soyuz Ukrainok in Ukraine. We were given a round of applause and many thanks.
