Anne Klein Women’s Award 2024 to Yuliya Sporysh

Yuliya Sporysh brought the “leader” concept from the male-dominated IT industry to a civil society organisation. Her NGO, Girls, supports Ukrainian girls and women as they shape their own futures independently and successfully.

I am convinced that we also need gender mainstreaming in peace and security policy! Greeting from the Federal Minister for Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth, Lisa Paus, MP

In peacetime, Yuliya Sporysh made empowering young women her mission, strengthening their confidence that they can do anything they set their minds to. In pursuing this mission since 24 September 2022, she has grown into someone even more remarkable, says Jamila Schäfer in her presentation address.
