“Women in Ukraine are feeling the acute impact of the war on their mental and physical health. Many women have become sole breadwinners in their families, who now have no sources of income or opportunities for professional development. The invasion has caused a high level of uncertainty, which means that they cannot plan their future.

Therefore, the “Beauty for All” program has acquired special significance for us. This is the same opportunity for Ukrainian women to learn a new profession, get a job and rebuild their lives. We invite everyone,” – Dina Turchyna, senior communications specialist at L’Oréal Ukraine.

“We at UNFPA are systematically engaged in supporting women who have suffered from gender-based violence. This problem is especially relevant during the war – in the last two years, the police and social services have received almost half a million appeals about domestic violence.

It is important for a woman to have economic independence in order to break the cycle of violence. That is why we are happy about our long-term cooperation with L’Oréal Ukraine within the framework of the “Beauty for All” project, which provides women with the opportunity to master the profession and start a career in the field beauties”, – Alyona Zubchenko, head of the UNFPA program on combating and preventing gender-based violence.

“The project environment, rich in resources, becomes a good ground for the growth of hairdressing specialists, as well as the formation of their personal characteristics, such as confidence, purposefulness, inner independence, belief in their potential, curiosity for knowledge and creativity.

Undoubtedly, this is facilitated by the professional approach of trainers and, in general, all personnel involved in the implementation of the project’s goals, comprehensive support of female students on their way.

An important aspect of social support is the group itself, as a platform for stabilization, since there is a sense of shared experience, mutual understanding, a field for solving through the interaction of social and relational aspects of a possible traumatic experience, a resource of human relations.

Studying on a hairdressing course is, without a doubt, about enrichment.” – Natalya Vysiatska, Psychologist of the “Beauty for All” project
