‘On Her Shoulders’: Yulia Sporysh on why female leadership is not the exception, but the new norm

‘On Her Shoulders’ — a new podcast from DIVOCHE.MEDIA about women who are changing society.

In the second episode, presenter Iryna Slavinska speaks to Yulia Sporysh, founder and director of the NGO ‘Divchata’, a candidate of sociological sciences and winner of the 2024 Anna Klein Award.

Together, they explore why women often doubt their own abilities and how to learn to take responsibility for large-scale projects. Yulia talks about how she built fintech start-ups, what led her to change her field of work, and why female leadership is not just a trend but a necessity.

In this episode, we also discuss imposter syndrome, role models and the importance of speaking out about one’s achievements, and we explain how to work effectively with international partners to promote the Ukrainian women’s movement on a global scale.
