Hryhoriyeva’s responsibilities include "ensuring coordination between various units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) and the Ministry of Defense, as well as developing and implementing a comprehensive gender strategy."

Previously, Oksana Hryhoriyeva held a similar position in the command of the Ground Forces.

The role of a gender advisor involves overseeing compliance with gender equality principles, developing relevant recommendations, and implementing policies aimed at integrating gender considerations into the military sphere.

The UOJ previously reported that a transgender individual from the U.S. became the face of a Ukrainian Armed Forces media project for Western audiences.
