In this paper we propose the notion of wartime care economy in order to make visible the way Ukrainians, and Ukrainian women in particular, ensure social reproduction, that is the everyday survival and flourishing of people as well as the reproduction of society. Existing accounts of war economies often focus on the way states restructure their economies to enable war and on illicit activities used either to sustain the fighting or to survive. The wide range of social reproduction activities – everyday, non-illicit activities often predominantly carried out by women or feminized subjects and unpaid or underpaid – thus is made invisible. We suggest that an understanding of war economies is incomplete unless it takes into account the often non-monetized value created in wartime care economies. Drawing on first-person narratives from Ukraine, literature of Ukrainian feminists and other secondary and grey literature, we examine the way intensified demands for care are being met in five spheres: households, neighborly and family support networks, volunteering, humanitarian organizing, and the state’s social services sector. We highlight the different kinds of labor performed in these spheres and the way they relate to each other.
