20 “НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ”, ГРУДЕНЬ 2010 at the Ukrainian Museum in New York City, as well as a Ukrainian - language article by UNWLA Vice President Ulana Zinych, who wrote about the presentation of the book A Candle in Remembrance at this event. A Candle in Remembrance is the UNWLA’s English translation of Professor Valenty na Borysenko’s compilation of eyewitness accounts of survivors of the Great Famine of 1932 – 1933, which was published in Ukraine in 2007. To quote Professor Mark Von Hagen (Director of The School of Historical, Philosophical and Religious Studies, Arizona S tate University and President of the Association for Slavic, East European, and Eurasian Studies), “This powerful collection of oral histories of the 1932 - 33 famine in Ukraine writes a heartrending chronicle of cruelty and suffering together with remarkabl e stories of survival, bravery, and resilience. The histories were collected by Ukrainian historians in an independent Ukraine; nonetheless, they reveal the traces of decades of enforced silence about this tragedy unleashed on the peasants of Ukraine by th e Stalinist dictatorship. Thereby the volume is also a fascinating portrait of the contemporary state of awareness and understanding of Ukrainian citizens about their twentieth - century history.” The UNWLA’s translation of this moving book has appeared in print at a time when the Holodomor’s horrific tragedies need to be emphasized and commemorated and brought to light for non - Ukrainians unaware of this genocide. We strongly feel that every Ukrainian American family should own a copy and share the knowledge of this tragedy with others. In connection with this, the UNWLA Executive Committee has determined that it is imperative to disseminate A Candle in Remembrance to top U.S. universities and libraries. Proceeds from selling copies of the book will be used t o cover postage and additional costs related to this public relations endeavor, which the Executive Committee will launch after the Christmas season. The price of the book is $28 (includes a $3 shipping and handling fee). Readers interested in purchasing c opies of the book can email their orders to office@unwla.org. Those who prefer to order by phone can leave a message at 212 - 533 - 4646; you will be contacted with payment instructions. Further information about the book is available on our website at unwla@u nwla.org. On Friday, November 12, Nadia Shmigel, NGO (non - governmental organization) representative to the United Nations from the World Federation of Women’s Organizations invited me and First Vice President Ulana Zinych to a meeting with the Ukrainian Ambassador t o the United Nations, Yuriy Sergeyev. In a historic move, the United Nations General Assembly voted unanimously on July 2, 2010, to create a new entity to accelerate progress in meeting the needs of women and girls worldwide. The establishment of the UN En tity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women — to be known as UN Women — is a result of years of negotiations between UN member states and advocacy by the global women’s movement. One of the goals of UN Women will be to support the Commission on the S tatus of Women and other intergovernmental bodies in devising policies that protect and enable women. It will also aim to help member states implement standards, provide technical and financial support to countries that request it, and forge partnerships w ith civil societies within these countries. Within the UN, the Entity will hold the world body accountable for its own commitments on gender equality. On November 10, 2010, the member states took the next step in enabling UN Women to begin its work by elec ting countries to serve on its Executive Board. Ambassador Sergeyev proudly announced that, after much lobbying by the Ukrainian UN Mission, Ukraine was elected as a member of this Executive Board. The Ambassador encouraged and invited Ukrainian women’s or ganizations in the diaspora to participate in this new and exciting opportunity when UN Women officially begins its work in January 2011. During 2010, I had the honor of recounting and reporting on the pages of Our Life many interesting and evolving events both here in the United States and in Ukraine. It is natural for readers not to even think about the process involved in bringing an issue to their doors; however, it is a multileveled and complicated process that would not be possible without the profess ionalism and dedication of our editor in chief Tamara Stadnychenko and our Ukrainian editor Lida Slysh. Their partnership and cooperative working relationship have resulted in a high - quality magazine that reflects the lives of our membership and that of Uk rainian women in general. On behalf of the National Board of UNWLA, I would like to thank and congratulate our editors for another eleven excellent issues of Our Life .
