The article is devoted to studying issues that slow down the formation of gender tolerance in the context of armed conflict on the territory of Ukraine. Aspects of gender equality and factors influencing its achievement in Ukrainian realities are highlighted. The article analyzes the problems of the development and formation of gender equality, historical prerequisites and factors that could have influenced the implementation of ideas of tolerance to one degree or another, changes and novelties of the current legislation, and their compliance with European standards for the protection of human rights. The paper also provides convincing arguments about the existence of the problem of gender discrimination and the situation faced by internally displaced persons, both female and male, in various spheres of society and professional sectors. It is established that during the period of martial law in Ukraine, girls and women are the most vulnerable due to the change of family roles, increased responsibility for the life and health of loved ones, loss of a breadwinner, increased cases of violence, external insecurity due to massive shelling by the occupying country. Certain features of the most vulnerable segments of the population and problems of discrimination against representatives of other nationalities in war conditions are also studied.References
