National Ukrainian NGO
«Divergent woman»
Founded by women. Work for women. From Ukraine to the World
Divergent Woman is
  • The largest women-led, women-founded gender-focused NGO in Ukraine

    We are the largest civil society network in Ukraine focused exclusively on advancing gender equality, founded and led entirely by women.

  • Practical solutions that enable women

    Our programs are more than support — they are tools: transformational initiatives in education and economic inclusion, business incubators, mentoring, leadership schools, and advocacy campaigns that empower women to reach new levels of influence.

  • 80% of programs designed to expand women’s workforce participation

    Most of our initiatives directly aim to increase women’s employability, upskilling, MSME sustainability, and entry into non-traditional professions — strengthening Ukraine’s labor market resilience.

  • Social enterprise model for operational sustainability

    We are not solely donor-dependent: our work is supported by a social enterprise model, enabling us to remain agile and impactful even during national crises.

  • Agile, horizontal management and governance

    Our organizational structure prioritizes speed, transparency, and participation from across our regional teams. Horizontal management is our response to the urgency of wartime conditions.

  • Full compliance with UN operational and reporting standards

    Since 2023, we are a fully compliant UN implementing partner, with robust policies, procedures, a Supervisory Board, and reporting systems capable of managing high-level international projects.

Founder Word

Initiator & CEO Yuliya Tsybulska

We live in times when women not only change the world — they keep it from falling apart.

When infrastructure fails, economies weaken, the whole world is in a state of constant turbulence and societies lose direction — women create new solutions.

I founded “Divergent Woman” to prove that our voice, our experience, and our projects are a force for recovery. Here, we speak about the hard truths, act with integrity, and unite hundreds of women who are shaping tomorrow.
Mission and purpose
Our goal is to enable systemic transformation through programs focused on women’s economic empowerment, workforce reintegration, gender-responsive governance, and GBV prevention — even amid wartime challenges.

Our mission is to build a resilient ecosystem of women’s leadership, entrepreneurship, mentorship, and employment that strengthens Ukraine’s economy and empowers women nationwide. We are committed to ensuring equitable access to opportunities, decision-making, and resources at local, regional, national and international levels, development of democracy and building strong democratic institutions, advocacy of the European integration course.

But in order for us to be able to support system projects, we need your help. The funds you send us are directed to: support for women, fight against domestic violence, employment and education for people with disabilities, support for single mothers and the elderly, and now - for our activities in the conditions of war.
