  • Mental Health in Ukraine
    2021 Yale Institute for Global Health Case Competition Mental Health in Ukraine 2021 Yale Institute for Global Health Case Competition Case Writing Team: Sina Reinhard (Chair), Yale School of Public Health Annan Dang, Yale School of Public Health Mitchelle Matesva, Yale School of Medicine Patricia Ryan-Krause, Yale School of Nursing (Faculty Advisor) Special thanks to Marie Brault for review of the case The scenarios, prompt, and vignettes of this case are based on existing initiatives, organizations, and individuals; however, details have been dramatized. Materials beyond the case scenario and prompt are meant to portray an accurate representation of global mental health and Ukraine’s burden of mental illness. The authors have provided facts and figures within the case and appendices to help teams. The data provided are derived from independent sources, may have been adapted for use in this case, and are clearly cited such that teams can verify or contest the findings within their recommendations if it is pertinent to do so. Introduction In January 2020, Ukraine was selected as a priority country for the World Health Organization’s (WHO) Special Initiative for Mental Health (2019-2023). Ukraine carries a high burden of mental illness with a particularly high prevalence of depression in comparison to other countries. Mental disorders are the country’s second leading cause of disability burden in terms of disability adjusted life years and are estimated to affect 30% of the population [100]. Since joining the initiative, Ukraine has experienced a renewed political commitment to mental health policy and service expansion combined with growing public interest in mental health issues.

  • Anders Åslund
    Anders Åslund Ukraine: What Went Wrong and How to Fix It Anders Åslund BESET BY RUSSIAN MILITARY AGGRESSION and the legacy from its years of economic mismanagement, Ukraine faces an existential crisis that has also roiled the politics of Europe. Yet there is a glimmer of hope and opportunity for this tormented country. In 2014 Ukraine carried out free and fair elections of a new president and parliament. With this democratic foundation, Ukraine can shape its future and return to economic and political stability. In this book, one of the world’s leading experts on Ukraine offers its new leadership a strategy for reform. Anders Åslund maintains that the country’s fundamental problem is corruption and poor governance, which requires radical reform of the state from the top down. He calls for the cleansing of the judiciary and law enforcement, including the abolition of the many intrusive inspection agencies, which use a regime of licenses, permits, and certifications to squeeze the lifeblood of the economy. The book also advocates cuts in wasteful public expenditures and deregulation to promote growth—but it also calls for international financing spearheaded by the International Monetary Fund. The European UKRAINE Union and the United States must also help. The book focuses extensively on the energy sector, which Åslund argues is the biggest source of top-level corruption and wasteful subsidies and should be reformed with a unified system of energy prices determined by the market, not government. Åslund also details a series of reforms in education and health care. To assure Ukraine’s success, the European Union must assume the role of anchor of the country’s democratic and market economic reforms.

  • Sex Work in Ukraine by Dariia Rachok a Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment Of
    Erotic Exchanges and Informal Economies: Sex Work in Ukraine by Dariia Rachok A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of Anthropology University of Alberta © Dariia Rachok, 2018 Abstract This thesis inquires about sex work and informalities in Ukraine. Problematizing the dichotomy of “the happy hooker” and “the victim of trafficking,” I approach sex work as an always socially and culturally embedded phenomenon that deserves to be approached contextually. My study is based on three months of ethnographic fieldwork in the city of Kropyvnytskyi (former Kirovohrad) in Ukraine and 15 in-depth open-ended interviews with local current and former sex workers. Contextualizing sex work within informality, I inquire about informal economic and political practices that sex workers use. I show the place of informality in sex workers’ interactions with the police officers, locals, and among themselves: how inventive and imaginary sex workers are in forging various alliances in order to secure their well-being and creating extended social networks that frequently function as social security mechanisms. Drawing on feminist anthropology, I argue that sex workers are not apolitical but instead resort to informal political practices and small-scale resistance practices that are often overlooked and discounted from the sphere of the political. Last but not least, I also inquire about sex workers’ narratives about their clients. Building on these narratives, I show that they provide a glimpse of an understanding of existing social anxieties regarding such “big” issues like respectability and civilité. ii Preface This thesis is an original work by Dariia Rachok.
