Yurii Oleksiiovych Pavlenko was born in the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv on 20 March 1975.[1] He studied history at Ukrainian Humanities Lyceum and then at Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv before undertaking a Master of Public Administration degree at the Ukrainian Academy of Public Administration. He took a Ph.D. in 2010.[2]

In 1999 Pavlenko became chairman of the Youth Party of Ukraine.[3][4] He was elected a People's Deputy in the 2002 parliamentary election for the Our Ukraine Bloc. In 2005 he became a member of the People's Union "Our Ukraine" party.[3] Pavlenko was reelected in 2006 and 2007 as an Our Ukraine Bloc candidate.[2][5][6]

Pavlenko served as Minister of Family, Youth and Sports in the First Tymoshenko Government, the Yekhanurov Government, briefly in the Alliance of National Unity government[7] and again in the Second Tymoshenko Government. From 2005 to 2007 Pavlenko was Ukraine's State Representative in the UNICEF Executive Board.[2] From 26 December 2006 till 17 October 2007 Pavlenko was Governor of Zhytomyr Oblast.[3][8] From 25 May to 24 October 2007 Pavlenko was a member of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine.[3]

On 12 August 2011 Pavlenko was appointed by President Viktor Yanukovych to the position of 'Authorized representative of the President of Ukraine for Children's Rights', or children's ombudsman.[2][9] Pavlenko said that this was done with the consent of the previous President, and leader of his party, Viktor Yushchenko.[9]

On 24 February 2014, Pavlenko was dismissed as children's ombudsman by a decree of acting President Oleksandr Turchynov.[10]
