Highlighting the stories of Ukrainian women is a new and original photography project.

The women found shelter in the UK following the Russian invasion of Ukraine on 24th February 2022.

Created by Katia Duncan, a Ukrainian who's lived in the UK for three decades, and Vlada Stoliarova, whose grandmother was Ukrainian, the project's entitled 'Nezlamna', meaning 'unbreakable'.

Nezlamna features 18 women but their personal experiences represent thousands of others who were forced to flee the conflict.

Most did so for the sake of their children, such as Yulia Zabrodska.

The women were photographed by Stoliarova.

They're shown holding flowers to symbolise fragile beauty but also strength in the toughest of conditions.

Nezlamna records the women's heartbreaking decisions to escape from Ukraine.

It also deals with the struggles they face as single parents abroad, far from their relatives, while living in fear of the terrifying events back home.

Although plenty of the women are highly educated professionals, it's common for them to find their qualifications aren't transferable, or their opportunities are limited by their language skills.

The project's acted as a kind of therapy for the women involved, but also for those who see their own stories reflected in the words and faces of the group.
