Three different stories from three different countries — Armenia, Georgia, and Ukraine — reflect on the complex past and present of wars through the perspective of women and offer a unique insider’s view. The book examines the female experience during and after war, exploring its consequences and impact on women. Through this project, we seek to pay tribute to all the women who are on the front lines — whether as witnesses, or as director indirect participants in armed conflicts.

This project examines wars and conflicts that have deeply affected the Caucasus and Eastern Europe, emphasising the universal need for peace and security. The wars represented in this book are: the War in Abkhazia, Georgia (1992–1993), the Russian-Georgian War (2008), the Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh) Wars (1988–2023), and the ongoing Russian-Ukrainian War (2014–present).
