“There were 70 men, and I was the only woman, a secretary and a cook. That was it. That’s where I took my first ‘young fighter’s course’. Despite everything that happened at that time and the difficult nature of my boss, I am grateful to him because he taught me one thing: in this life, you either bite or get bitten. Move only forward!”
– she said.
This is a rule that Olha Prosyaniuk has followed all her life, even when she was pregnant she continued to work until the end and even received threats because of her work.
“I’m 8 months pregnant, people are waiting for me outside my house with a knife to my throat, saying either quit what I was doing or you won’t give birth. Then I was hit by a car near my house. But I didn’t give up! This was the first case in the history of Ukraine where we applied to the European Court of Human Rights, we litigated for 7 years and as a result we were awarded €7 million in compensation for the illegal actions of the investigating authorities. And this is all my work,”
– says Olga Prosyanyuk.
