"We Call Ourselves the Combat Witches."
Briefly

The all-female volunteer air defense unit, known as the 'Bucha Witches,' emerged from a traumatic response to past violence, empowering women through active military involvement.
Members of the 'Bucha Witches' report that participating in defense efforts has provided a therapeutic outlet, allowing them to confront and process their trauma from the 2022 massacre.
Their training not only enhances their skills in air defense but also fosters a strong sense of community and resilience among women affected by the ongoing conflict.
