Poland has received the majority of Ukrainian refugees fleeing the current conflict. At the time of writing, UNHCR reports that 1,830,711 people have crossed the Ukrainian/Polish border. The sheer scale and pace of the refugee influx is already creating cracks in the response. Many of these cracks have important gender and protection consequences.

This Rapid Gender Analysis (RGA) researched by CARE highlights the most significant gender and protection issues for Ukrainians in Poland and flags urgent actions required to address them. This RGA of Ukrainian Refugees in Poland builds on the RGA Brief for Ukraine published in February 2022.

The RGA is based on observations from site visits to Medyka border crossing, Przemsyl train station, Korczowa Reception Centre, KroĊ›cienko border crossing as well as Warsaw train station and accommodation centres; conversations with organisers at these sites – both official and volunteers – and with refugees and Polish Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) and Civil Society Organisations (CSOs). The RGA also benefits from consolidating and triangulating information coming out from multiple reports and online coordination meetings.
