Rapid Gender Analysis Poland
Poland has received the majority of Ukrainian refugees fleeing the conflict. At the time of writing, UNHCR reports that 1,830,711 people have crossed the Ukrainian/Polish border. There has been an outpouring of solidarity in Poland for the Ukrainian refugees. Polish authorities and citizens mobilized swiftly. The sheer scale and pace of the refugee influx are 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, and Korczowa Reception Centre, The RGA also benefits from consolidating and triangulating information coming out from multiple reports and online coordination meetings.

Update From the Field: War in Ukraine
Basic assistance is needed for people leaving places of the active conflict who have already arrived in Western Ukraine or neighboring countries. People come without anything, so they need clothes, medications, bedding, etc. Further, providing essential sexual and reproductive health care for communities experiencing trauma and displacement is a human right, especially during conflict. This includes safeguarding maternity and children’s hospitals, which have been the targets of recent bombings in Mariupol, access to family planning, and protection from gender-based violence. Lastly, we advocate for the support of civil society organizations that remain in Ukraine’s conflict areas and continue to provide immediate relief and shelter to communities affected by violence
