The coexistence, fears and dreams of the Ukrainian people, through the lens of eight refugee women.

When 42-year-old twins Maryna and Ruslana boarded a bus from Poland to Italy, they thought they would stay two months at the most. Instead, their temporary refuge from the war in Ukraine turned into a more permanent one. They have remained for over a year and a half - with no hope of returning anytime soon.

How the war in Ukraine is impacting both Ukrainians and people around the globe.

This report provides an overview of the protection needs and risks faced by refugees from Ukraine coming to Poland after February 24, 2022. The data analysed in this report was collected during the Protection Monitoring (PM) conducted by the IRC in September, October, November and December 2023.

Our report findings convey a powerful message: normal life remains out of reach for millions of Ukrainians. As we commemorate a decade of conflict, it is imperative for the world to recognise that solidarity has no expiration date, and the humanitarian response to this war requires sustained support.
