Our female students got acquainted with ten different border guards through photo illustrations and learned about their stories. This exhibition had a social dimension, emphasizing that the choice of profession should not depend on gender stereotypes.

"Women can be anything and fulfill themselves in any role," noted Mustafa Elkanazi, Deputy Representative of UNFPA in Ukraine and Senior Emergency Coordinator.

Students from the Dnipro Institute of Interregional Personnel Management also engaged in discussions with the space's psychologist, Ms. Natalia, about gender stereotypes and women's inner strength. Each girl shared her impressions and memories on this topic, and the psychologist helped them better understand themselves and immerse themselves in an atmosphere of self-love.

We thank the "Vilna" space for their hospitality and for the time that the students spent together, realizing that we are all equal in our pursuit of one dream - Victory!

In Ukraine, there are already 28 "Vilna" spaces.
