Description:
This book delves into the experiences of Ukrainian women forced to leave their country in search of refuge following the conflict with Russia in 2022, exploring the diverse forms of capital they bring with them and develop on the way. It also provides valuable insights and data for NGOs and policymakers working to support Ukrainian migrants.
Review Quotes:
"Although Ukrainian migration to Poland is not new, the Russian invasion in 2022 sparked a massive surge in cross border movements with consequences for forced migrants themselves and Polish society more broadly. This book focuses on the experiences of Ukrainian women and in particular considers their experiences of embedding in labour markets. The authors draw on rich data to explore how these women transfer their skills and work experiences across borders and different economic opportunity structures. This book adds important new insights on the on-going consequences of war and forced mobilities."
Louise Ryan, London Metropolitan University.
"The book offers insightful history, analysis, and understanding of the experiences of Ukrainian female war migrants in Poland. Adapting a very humane perspective is inspiring and makes an important contribution to gender, refugee, and conflict studies. It should be a required read for all looking to expand their knowledge in these fields."
