“…In Ukraine, the female ideal is tied to the figure of Berehynia, a figure from pre-Christian mythology revived in the post-Soviet period of Ukrainian nation-building, that aligns women with home, hearth, and nation (Phillips, 2008). In this schema, a woman's primary role is to be a mother, including raising children and managing the household, while also working outside the home (Channell-Justice, 2020). The berehynia image circulates in contemporary Ukraine through the public symbols such as atop a column in Kyiv's Independent Square (Channell-Justice, 2020), in political speech such as during the 2013-2014 Maidan protests (Phillips, 2014), and in public education (Haydenko, 2011).…”

“…While some Ukrainain scholars argue that this image has limited effect on women’s actual lives (Kis, 2005) and feminist scholars and activists promote gender equality and challenge neotraditional gender stereotypes (Barth, 2021; Channell-Justice, 2020), studies have shown that many men and women in Ukraine agree that a woman’s primary goal and responsibility should be childbirth, motherhood, and caring for the “traditional” family (UNFPA Ukraine, 2018). Income gaps between men and women in Ukraine are high: a woman’s average individual income is about 65% that of a man’s.…”

This article analyzes interviews with women who use drugs in Ukraine to understand the care conundrum they face as members of a stigmatized group. In the interviews, the women sought to position themselves as deserving and needing care as members of a vulnerable category—sometimes as women who use drugs or people living with HIV, but also as mothers—yet also themselves capable of providing care for others. We examine how women who use drugs in Ukraine navigate a moral economy of care involving judgments about deservedness and social worth, the obligatory nature of care, and expectations for reciprocity. For programs for women who use drugs to be successful, they must acknowledge and engage with the moral economies of care in which these women operate. We offer recommendations for how health and social service providers can better meet the unique needs of women who use drugs.
