Survey: Over 30% of Ukrainian Refugees in Poland Have Faced Discrimination
A Rating Group survey found that 31% of Ukrainian refugees in Poland experienced ethnicity-based discrimination over the past year. The findings highlight challenges facing the Ukrainian community in the neighboring country.
A new public opinion survey indicates that a significant share of Ukrainian refugees living in Poland have encountered unequal treatment due to their ethnic background.
According to a poll conducted by the research firm Rating Group, 31% of Ukrainian refugees residing in Poland reported experiencing discrimination related to their ethnicity within the past year.
Poland has taken in a large number of Ukrainian refugees since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, making it one of the main host countries in the region. The survey findings suggest that despite this large-scale reception, a portion of refugees continue to face difficult circumstances during the integration process.
The results point to the persistence of a discrimination problem affecting a notable share of the refugee community. The source material does not provide further details on the survey's methodology, the number of respondents, or specific forms the discrimination took.
