I am a sociologist and the responsible research officer under the CareOrg project, currently affiliated with the NGO Institute for Systemic Alternatives (Kyiv). I got my PhD in Sociology from the Kyiv Polytechnic Institute. My dissertation focuses on labor power reproduction in Ukrainian garment factories in global supply chains. I have been working on the topics of labor protests, gender inequality and austerity, care sectors and social reproduction. Over the recent years, in cooperation with the Rosa-Luxemburg foundation, Clean Clothes Campaign and Bread for the World, I have been participating in policy-oriented and engaged research, related to the topics of both paid and unpaid female labor. I was a Principal Investigator in the Clean Clothes Campaign projects on working conditions in Ukrainian made-for-brands garment sector. Within the cooperation between the Rosa-Luxemburg foundation and Center for Social and Labor Research (Kyiv), I designed and led the project “Who cares? Kindergartens in the context of gender inequality”. Besides my research work, I am a co-editor of the “Commons / Spilne” online journal.

I am a research assistant in the CareOrg project and a PhD candidate in the Department of Sociology at the Goethe University Frankfurt. In recent years, in cooperation with the Young Christian Workers and the Clean Clothes Campaign, I have been researching the working conditions of Ukrainian workers in different low-paid sectors, including HORECA, the garment sector, and in labor migration to EU. I also worked as a researcher for the Ukrainian department of the War Childhood Museum (Kyiv) and at Hannah Arendt Institute for Totalitarianism Studies (Dresden). Besides my research activities, I was also engaged as an educator on women’s and labor rights within the Feminist Workshop NGO (Lviv), of which I am a co-founder.
