The NAO discussed the role of women in society at the solemn meeting

Board members of the Nenets regional branch of the Union of Pensioners of Russia and heads of communication clubs of pensioners took part in a solemn meeting dedicated to the 85th anniversary of the creation of the Antifascist Committee of Soviet Women. The legal successor of this historical organization is the All-Russian public organization “Union of Women of Russia”.

During the event, special attention was paid to the role of women in society. Traditionally, it remains the guardian of the family hearth, the support of loved ones and an important part of family values. At the same time, today women face new challenges: participation in public life, development of territories, care for the older generation and support for families in difficult life situations.

The Nenets regional branch of the Union of Women of Russia was established in 2010 under the leadership of Olga Vladimirovna Starostina. Today the organization is headed by Elena Vladimirovna Sopochkina. The projects “Health for children of the Arctic”, “Women’s Arctic Forum” and the forum “Healthy woman – healthy Arctic” are actively implemented in the region.

These initiatives are aimed at implementing the national project “Family”, supporting large families and families of SVO defenders, strengthening family values and improving the quality of life of residents of the region.

Chairman of the Nenets regional branch of the Union of Pensioners of Russia Tatiana Nikolaevna Badyan stressed that the signed cooperation agreement will be an important step for the development of joint work. It will help strengthen the atmosphere of stability, mutual respect and friendship in the region, unite the efforts of public organizations for the benefit of the residents of the district.
