Information campaign to promote the contribution of women to the socio-economic development of the Zhytomyr region
In 2012-2013, one of the first projects supported by the Ukrainian Women's Fund was the initiative "Information Campaign to Promote the Contribution of Women to the Social and Economic Development of the Zhytomyr Region". As part of the project, many interviews, photo and video materials were prepared with successful women of the region and a competition was held for representatives of the regional media for the best report on the topic "Women Who Create the History of the Zhytomyr Region".
The project partners were the Department of Family, Youth and Sports and the Department of Information Support and Public Communications of the Regional State Administration.
The project consisted of two parts. The first was the creation of a video about modern women who create the history of the Zhytomyr Region. The second was the competition for the best report for representatives of the regional media.
As part of the project, individual videos and a joint video were prepared with the participation of such women as:

The second line of the project was the Competition for journalists on the topic "Women Who Create the History of Zhytomyr Region", designed to highlight the participation of women in local socio-economic development, draw attention to the problems of women in various spheres of life, and support the creative initiatives of journalists. The jury included journalists from leading Ukrainian media outlets, civil servants, public figures, and scientists. The criteria for evaluating the competition entries were disclosure of the topic, originality of the author's idea, aptness of the title, and overall impression.
Third place in the competition went to Nazariy Tomchuk for the video story "Nelia Kovaluk's Personal Opinion," second place went to Nataliya Khomenko for the material "Her Ukraine is Thriving," and the winner was Halyna Kovalchuk with the video report "About Professionals." The winners of the Competition received digital dictaphones and certificates of participation. In total, seventeen entries were submitted for the Competition.

Oleksandra Bochkovska won in the nomination "Social Significance," Svitlana Sobolevska won in the nomination "Integral Disclosure of Professional Aspects," and Maryna Yenzhievska won in the nomination "Creative Idea."
