The Canadian government announced a $4 million commitment to a “gender-inclusive" effort to remove landmines and ordnances from war-torn Ukraine.
"This project from the HALO Trust aims to safeguard the lives and livelihoods of Ukrainians, including women and internally displaced persons, by addressing the threat of explosive ordnance present across vast areas of the country," the press release on the funding stated.
"Project activities include conducting non-technical surveys and subsequent manual clearance in targeted communities; providing capacity building to key national stakeholders; and establishing a gender and diversity working group to promote gender-transformative mine action in Ukraine."
