In Ukraine, the “Arm Women Now” initiative uses donations to create and sew uniforms suitable for female soldiers, including slim-fitting jackets, adjustable-waist pants and comfortable sports bras, which it distributes free of charge to soldiers. This is a welcome change for the thousands of women serving in the Ukrainian armed forces who, until now, have only received uniforms designed for men. The model is currently being tested for deployment throughout the armed forces.
