ПРОБЛЕМИ ТА ТРУДНОЩІ УКРАЇНСЬКИХ ЖІНОК, ЯКІ ПРОЖИВАЮТЬ НА ОКУПОВАНІЙ ТЕРИТОРІЇ

Abstract

The article analyzes the main social and domestic problems and difficulties faced by women who stayed in their occupied hometown of Melitopol during the aggressive war. It is established that the main problems of Ukrainian women in the occupied city include the closure of all branches of Ukrainian banks, fraudulent schemes with cash withdrawals and shortages of medicines, the impossibility of delivering humanitarian aid from the territory controlled by Ukraine, complaints about the quality and high cost of Russian medicines. It was found that there are also problems with housing services, including: lack of gas supply; unstable water and electricity supply; violation of property rights to property and real estate; confiscation of private housing. It was found that in the cultural and educational sphere, the occupation authorities of the city banned both the state language and the languages of national communities by forcing schools and kindergartens to switch to Russian and Russian programs. The Russians have turned medical facilities into military hospitals, with 90% of hospitals providing care exclusively to wounded occupants. All of this causes negative psychological experiences, feelings of loss or uncertainty, social insecurity, difficulties in realizing social roles and transforming the system of values of personal relationships. It is argued that all these factors give rise to disbelief in victory and a peaceful future, uncertainty about the liberation of the occupied city, a sense of powerlessness, and a lack of communication with family, like-minded people, and friends.
