IntroductionSince 24 February 2022, Ukrainian civilians have endured the profound consequences of full-scale invasion by Russia. Over 63% of the population have lost a friend or relative, and more than 1 in 5 have experienced the death of a close loved one. The destruction of homes, infrastructure, and livelihoods has affected millions, with assessments showing that approximately 13% of the country’s entire housing stock has been damaged or destroyed, impacting over 2.5 million households. More than a third of Ukrainians have experienced displacement, and 14.6 million people were projected to require humanitarian assistance in 2024.The full-scale invasion inevitably and severely has affected nearly every aspect of life in Ukraine, displacing families, destroying homes and livelihoods, and inflicting widespread trauma. It reshaped the distribution of resources, disrupted daily life, limited access to employment, health services, and safety. However, war and conflict do not affect all groups equally. Gendered insecurities become more pronounced, particularly among women who are already in vulnerable circumstances. These include women who are rural, displaced, low-income, have disabilities, or are survivors of violence. Such intersecting vulnerabilities threaten women’s economic, social, and political participation, and undermine equity between women and men.The Social Cohesion and Reconciliation (SCORE) Index provides an evidence base to examine these disparities. Drawing on SCORE 2021, reSCORE 2023, and reSCORE 2024 datasets, this report offers a situational analysis of gendered socio-economic wellbeing in Ukraine. It focuses on key dimensions of the Social Cohesion and Reconciliation (SCORE) Index, particularly those linked to economic participation, health, wellbeing, and access to services. By highlighting the structural and contextual factors that undermine women’s socio-economic resilience, the analysis aims to inform more inclusive and gender-responsive policies and programmes for Ukraine’s recovery and reconstruction.Earlier waves of SCORE Ukraine data already pointed to persistent inequalities: despite equal educational attainment, women reported lower employment rates and greater economic insecurity. Those most affected tended to be older and rural, experiencing worse health outcomes and limited access to services. ReSCORE 2023 further revealed that personal security was lowest among women who were survivors of domestic violence, internally displaced, low-income, or disabled. Rural women were disproportionately excluded from services, and many relied on welfare (58%) or humanitarian aid (40%). Anxiety, depression, and poor physical health were also prevalent, with 16% of women frequently struggling to stop worrying, and 10% often feeling depressed or very sad.Importantly, the gap between women in vulnerable conditions and those in more stable ones is consistently wider than the equivalent gap among men. This demonstrates that women are not only more exposed to adversity, but also more severely impacted by it. To better understand these dynamics in 2024, the report focuses on five key categories of vulnerability: women with disabilities, women who lived under occupation, survivors of domestic violence, internally displaced women, and women living in rural areas. The analysis is guided by three research questions:1. Have there been any changes in the levels of socio-economic gender disparities between men and women indicators in Ukraine from 2021 to 2024? (section 1)2. Which are the demographic factors and experiences can undermine women’s socio-economic resilience and how did these evolve from 2021 to 2024? (section 2)
