The First Lady has asked women from all over the world for a gesture of support encouraging them to take part in the action organized on March 8, 2022. This day, international Women’s Day celebrated worldwide is an opportunity to demonstrate opposition to the invasion in Ukraine and an attempt to convince Russian society to stop the war.

“Let us take this special occasion to address all women in Russia with an appeal to stop the ongoing war in Ukraine. Let us ask them for peace and life, as mother, wife and daughter of Russian officers and soldiers participating in the invasion in Ukraine, to act on their holiday against further bloodshed”, appealed Agata Duda.
