In Ukraine, women are now working in coal mines due to a labor shortage caused by the war.

Due to the war and a severe shortage of workers, Ukrainian women are now working in coal mines, a sector previously off-limits to them. With many men joining the military, the Ukrainian parliament lifted a ban on women working in "harmful and dangerous conditions," including underground mining jobs. Hundreds of women now comprise about 5% of DTEK's workforce, focusing on logistics and transportation within the mines, contributing to the war effort.
