The New York Times recently highlighted the critical role of women in Ukraine's energy sector, featuring DTEK's efforts to employ female workers in the traditionally male-dominated field of underground coal mining.
The article sheds light on how the ongoing war has reshaped the workforce in key industries across the country.
Karina Yatsina, one of the 130 women now working underground at DTEK's Pavlohrad mine, shared her story with the New York-based publication.
"I would have never thought that I would be working in a mine," said Yatsina, a former nanny who now operates a conveyor belt 1,200 feet below ground. "I would have never imagined that."
DTEK has been at the forefront of this workforce transformation. With over 1,000 male employees at the mine drafted into the military, the company has turned to women to help fill the void, hiring some 330 female workers at the Pavlohrad mine alone.
"Their help is enormous because many men went to fight and are no longer available," said Serhiy Faraonov, the deputy head of the mine. These women now operate the conveyors, work as safety inspectors, and drive the trains that connect the different parts of the underground operation.
As Ukraine navigates the challenges of war, DTEK's women are reshaping the traditionally male-dominated energy sector, paving the way for a more diverse and resilient workforce.
