Gendered Frontlines: Men, Women, and the Politics of Protection in the Russia-Ukraine War, 2022-2026
This thesis argues that dominant narratives of female victimhood and male agency obscure the real gender architecture of the Russia-Ukraine war — from the male-predominant pattern of sexual violence in detention to women's exclusion from peace talks — all flowing from a single protection order that the Women, Peace and Security agenda is failing to address.

This paper explores why intersectionality is not just a theory, but a survival necessity.
