Introduction. The Revolution of Dignity, the annexation of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the Anti-Terrorist operation (ATO) in eastern Ukraine took place chronologically consistently, being in an event and thematic interconnection with each other. On April 30, 2018, the ATO was completed, in place of which the Joint Forces operation (JFO) was launched. However, during the last five years in the Ukrainian media there has never been published material in which, in panoramic terms, in all its diversity and interconnections, the participation of women in each of these socio-political and military events was reflected. Moreover, this has not been done also by scholars, which determines the relevance and pioneering of this study.
The aim is to identify the peculiarities of the representation of women from the fields of volunteering, defense and journalism on the basis of Ukrainian media during the socio-political and military events of 2013–2018.
Methodology. To achieve the aim of the research, were used methods of monitoring, content analysis, including methods of comparison, analysis, synthesis, generalization, and method of typology.
Results and conclusions. On the basis of the sample of materials in the media, the features of the representation of women from the fields of volunteering, defense and journalism during the socio-political and military events in Ukraine in 2013-2018 were revealed, namely, the Revolution of Dignity, the annexation of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the ATO. This made it possible for the first time to panoramically show the women’s participation and to identify interconnections in their activities, which was done using a typological analysis.
Key words: women, gender, media, the Revolution of Dignity, Euromaidan, annexation of Crimea, ATO, Ukraine.
