]]> Inequalities in citizenship and the transnational mobilization of Polish, Czech and Ukrainian Roma in the face of the war in Ukraine will be addressed by an international team of scientists led by Dr. Kamila Fiałkowska from the Migration Research Center (OBM) of the University of Warsaw. Researchers will analyse the behaviour and situation of both Roma people fleeing the war in Ukraine and those who helped them in Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The context of the research will be their social status as citizens, as well as prejudices against Roma that influence attitudes towards refugees.
