For March 8 Solidarity Collectives gathered statements from women and Queers fighting and resisting the Russian invasion. We recorded those statements to give this perspectives a voice

March 8. A day symbolizing freedom, a day motivating to fight, a day when the voices of feminists can be heard by millions of protesters walking the common path of equality.

But the path of Ukrainian women changed dramatically on February 24, 2022. The beginning of the war in Ukraine, became an existential turning point in the lives of millions of people, a peaceful safe reality burned in the flames of Russian rockets, was crushed by tanks marked “Z”, shot with civilians of Bucha…

Thousands of women decided to resist the aggressors from the East. They joined the Armed Forces of Ukraine to defend their homes, families, friends, those they love, freedom and independence of the people. Our initiative supports eight women or non-binary fighters who 2 years ago marched on equality in Ukraine and the world, and today they defend Ukraine at the cost of incredible efforts.

Each of them is a heroine, each has an incredible story, sometimes you wonder how much courage, strength, inspiration there is in one person, each of them sacrificed something, each of them lost someone.

Here, we gathered words from some of our comrades.
