НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ • Вересень-Жовтень 2025 11 funded by the Ukrainian Community Foundation of Phil - adelphia. ENGin, founded in 2020 by UNWLA member Katerina Manoff, connects Ukrainian youth with English-speaking volunteers for online language practice and cultural ex - change. Now serving over 44,000 students, ENGin is the UNWLA’s official Volunteer Engagement Partner, and we regularly promote their volunteer opportunities to our members. Advancing Women’s Studies The UNWLA sought to create a space where the role of women in Ukrainian society could be studied, under - stood, and celebrated. In 2012, in partnership with the Ukrainian Catholic University (UCU) in Lviv, it established the UNWLA Center for Women’s Studies — the first of its kind in Ukraine. The Center promotes academic inquiry and public di- alogue on gender equality, women’s historical and con- temporary roles, and the challenges women face. Its early work focused on themes of dignity, equal opportunity, and spiritual and personal development. By 2018, the initiative grew into a full Women’s Studies Lecture Program, offer - ing undergraduate and graduate courses, hosting guest speakers, and supporting international collaboration. The Center has organized impactful events, including: • A 2022 online conference, Women in Early Modern Society in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth . • A 2023 international conference, Imperial Power and Women: Trauma, Resistance, and Resilience , co-hosted with the European Society of Women in Theological Re- search. • A 2023 event marking the 140th anniversary of the Ukrainian women’s movement. • A 2024 roundtable, Between Conservatism and Fem - inism: Wives and Daughters of Greek Catholic Priests in Late 19th–Early 20th Century Galicia . • A lecture by historian Olena Stiazhkina, Ukrainian Wom- en in Times of Occupation , which challenged stereotypes and examined media portrayals of women during wartime. Through these programs, students gain both theoreti- cal insight and practical tools to understand how societal forces shape women’s lives. The center provides a plat - form for scholars and students from Ukraine and beyond to exchange ideas on gender issues. Its influence is visible in the success of alumni like Olha Bosak, UCU class of 2004. A global leader in sustainability and energy, Bosak serves on the board of Norway’s AICE Hydro, heads her own consulting firm, and has been rec - ognized as “Woman of the Year of the Ukrainian Energy Industry.” She exemplifies the values that the UNWLA promotes: leadership, vision, and service. As the UNWLA’s educational arm continues to grow, so does its impact. From expanding access to Ukrainian books in public libraries to supporting aca- demic research, staging literary works, and raising awareness about historical injustices like the Holodomor, the UNWLA’s education - al mission is rooted in both cultural preser - vation and forward-thinking advocacy. We are committed to making Ukrainian voices heard — whether by partnering with librar - ies, collaborating with universities, sponsor - ing translation efforts, or empowering young scholars through scholarships. These multi - faceted initiatives reflect our belief that ed- ucation is essential not only for preserving identity, but for shaping Ukraine’s future. With each project, event, and collaboration, we strive to ensure that Ukrainian stories, perspectives, and intellectual contributions remain visible, relevant, and valued in the United States and beyond.
