#22 Member of Parliament Halyna Yanchenko on the war in Ukraine

“War does not make any difference between sex or age. Everyone
suffers”, says Member of the Ukrainian Parliament, Halyna Yachenko.
Halyna was elected to the Ukrainian Rada in 2019 and is the Deputy
Chair of Sluha Narodu, SN (Servant of the People), a centrist,
pro-European and anti-corruption party. In the Rada she serves as
Deputy Chair of the Committee on Anti-Corruption Policy. She is
also a Co-Chair of German-Ukrainian interparliamentary friendship
group. We discuss how parliamentarians in Ukraine still manage to
do their work, even when the country is at war. She talks about her
two children, who are currently refugees abroad and what kind of
support she expects from international partners. Season Two of “Ich
bin so frei” kicks off with the obvious: A female voice on freedom
and how to shape our future, directly from Kiev. [NGO
