"The situation of third country nationals from countries in Africa and South Asia and other ethnic minority groups in Ukraine, including the Roma population, is particularly concerning, as there have been numerous reports of discrimination and even violence against these vulnerable groups. The Roma population lack civil status documents, limiting access to critical services, including education and health, and potentially humanitarian assistance as many Roman internally displaced people were not registered prior to the current escalation in conflict." CoE-ECSR – Council of Europe - European Committee of Social Rights, Ukraine: Conclusions of the European Committee of Social Rights following state report of 27 August 2021, March 2022 "The Committee also refers to its conclusions of non-conformity regarding other relevant provisions of the Charter for an assessment of conformity with Article 30 (see Conclusions 2013 and the Statement of interpretation on Article 30).

The long-term consequences of the pandemic will also impact young women." ILO, Assessment of the Social Security Responses to COVID-19, 2021 "All the seven countries have already attained a reasonably wide population coverage of health care. Ukraine has a tax-financed national health system, and the rest of countries finance health care services through social health insurance. Compared with other branches of social security that provide income security benefits, the health insurance coverage of these countries goes beyond the workers in the formal economy, largely due to the State subsidy of certain categories of economically inactive population such as dependent family members, beneficiaries of social assistance, and registered unemployed.
