Women and girls in Ukraine and around the world have suffered disproportionately as the men of the country fight against the invasion by Russia, a new report by the U.N. has found.

The report states that 265,000 Ukrainian women who were pregnant when the war broke out in February either had to flee or give birth in a time of conflict.

The report states that spiraling energy prices have caused families to return to using less clean fuels and technologies, exposing women and girls to household air pollution, which already kills 3.2 million people per year -- the majority of whom are women and children.Women-headed households in Ukraine were already more food insecure prior to the war, with 37.5% experiencing moderate or severe levels of food insecurity, compared to 20.5% of male-headed households, according to the report.

In this May 25, 2022, file photo, a woman stands in a field while conducting farming chores in Malyn, Ukraine.In addition, school-aged girls are even more at risk of being obliged to drop out of school to get married for dowry or bride-price income for desperate families, officials stated.

This report is ridiculous! It doesn't acknowledge that the men are literally facing death in this war.

Women r always the silent victims of wars. They absorb the emotional, mental, + social dystopia conflicts of mass destruction inure. When men go to war, women r left in a catatonic stupor—paralyzed by trauma, + fearful death in battle will rob them of their loved ones It’s PTSD

Come on !! Russia is a totally Godless, Satanic country. Their solders have no Morality. So raping then murdering women and young girls is of no consequence to them. It's simply an invader's side-benefit.

Women suffered disproportionately as the men are dying on the battlefield? ... okkkkkkkay! So lets send the women out with AKs and let the men suffer at home then....maybe they will all knit a big sweater to keep themselves warm in the coming winter.

Sad to see women and children in acute problem and distress due to the war.

Vuduchick Who will be the first to pay the US to care enough to micro-drone strike Putin and his leaders?

Solid work here. The reporter deserves to take a vacation in Ukraine, fighting the Russians. Why should the boys have all the fun?

excuse me, but you might want to fact-check this opus of yours since 'early child marriage' you've mentioned is forbidden in Ukraine. If the bride is pregnant, they can get married at 16 but never prior to that. The official age of marriage is 18+

They said we get one life so just enjoy that.but now what's the meaning of there life. The war ruin everything 😐having dream but not resources to fulfill them kills a person from inside 😐 UkraineRussiaWar Ukraine

Uh what? They aren't the ones on the battlefield.

this report is deceptive, certainly women and girls may have suffered more intensely ( although having your balls cut off may also make this a lie) but certainly males have suffered more extensively than females. Why make a war into a male/female thing!

So the women and girls are suffering disproportionately as the men fight, are injured or die for their country and loved ones? It would seem fighting, being maimed or killed isn't suffering.

The men being shot and killed aren’t doing so good either.

Yes, no worries about the tens of thousands of men who died in battle. Your faux news is a joke

Let's find out, how many people affected from these ? Investigation needed

Wtf zenlensky is doing with all that 🤑💰

That’s what happens when you have two countries run by oligarchs battle over business disputes. How many women young and old with children in orphanages left behind while naive westerners cheered on a proxy war. I wonder how many regret changing their pictures with flags now ?

Un was linking their fingers when the US was fighting in other countries... Wonder if they had women and girls in the middle east💀💀 women and girls are only affected by Russia. .

Who measured the suffering?

Headline: Men suffer and die, women most affected.

战争是残酷的,请善待妇女儿童。

Men are fighting and dying on the battlefields, women most affected.

As disproportionately as the poor buggers dying. I doubt they feel this way, and probably feel lucky to be alive

Men fighting and dying: Women most affected.

That makes zero sense

Same energy

Sick of Republicans going against democracy and not doing right by the American People! Pass a law or bill making every man in the country to get a vasectomy so they will not violate a women rights or body! Since you trying to control women rights then we will control you!

I dunno I think all those military aged men could give them a run for their money.

Woman are also fighting alongside the men

I'm going to play devils advocate here...The men who are fighting and dying for their country aren't suffering? WTF is the point of this? I'm pretty sure the suffering is equally distributed across that whole country and there is NOTHING to be gained by writing this article!

Disproportionately? Would you rather they be out on the battlefield too?

Tens of thousands of men dying clear their throats awkwardly

I’m sorry 😞 it’s not fair ! Apply for asylum to the United States 🇺🇸 you’re brave and so are the Iranian Women

Suffered disproportionately The men are getting shot and blasted to bits!?!?

Ask the women if they'd like to trade roles for a bit

It’s true. The US sanctions have completely upended global supply chains and intensified food insecurity. The President even admitted as much, although he told us it was a sacrifice worth making us take because democracy or something,

Huh? Men fighting the war have a higher chance of dying

That's what this world does: It fucks over women and girls, and guess what? The world keeps producing more girls than boys and you know why? It's about time to get even with them.

The men are fighting and dying but its the women who are the real victims. 🤡

The men are fighting and dying, but yes it’s the women who suffer disproportionately Absolute delusional media
