The document explores the impact of migration on the gender roles of Polish migrant women in the UK and Poland, highlighting that women are often mischaracterized as passive followers in the migration process. It uses a feminist methodology, conducting qualitative interviews with Polish women to understand how migration influences their roles as caregivers and workers. The study aims to address the under-researched area of gender in A8 migration and investigate whether migrant experiences lead to a reconfiguration of traditional gender roles.
