Background
"The real truth and ramifications for nuclear and radiological security"
"Hear more from those impacted and an opportunity to discuss the issues"
The war in Ukraine has created instability, affecting the global economy relating to energy requirements. It has furthermore put into question and raised concerns with regard to state actors, the safety of nuclear facilities and the security of nuclear and other radiological materials. What is happening is unprecedented and needs to be told and remembered.
Throughout this time, WINS has been fortunate to be working closely with Women in Nuclear (WiN) Ukraine and other stakeholders and friends of Ukraine, to investigate the impact of the War.
The Voices of Ukraine (VoU) is a vital and important project of work that has captured the thoughts, feelings and the truth about what is happening as a result of the continued threat and presence of foreign forces in Ukraine.
