GEN-MIGRA: Gender, Mobilities and Migration During and Post COVID-19 Pandemic - Vulnerability, Resilience and Renewal, 2023-2024

GEN-MIGRA was a research project which explored the lived experiences of migrant women and their families during the COVID-19 pandemic in four countries - the United Kingdom, Brazil, Poland and Germany. The collaboration was funded through the Trans-Atlantic Platform for Humanities and Social Sciences. Only the data from the UK-based part of the study is included in this dataset.

The aim of the project was to investigate migrant women's experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic, their views on health and other inequalities and their post-pandemic experiences. Researchers collected interview data from stakeholders such as government representatives and charities, community organisations, and migrant women and their family members. The project examined the role of state policies and community networks in mitigating or increasing gender inequalities that were widely reported during the COVID-19 pandemic at a global level.

The UK-based project explored the impact and experiences of the pandemic on migrant women and families living in the UK during the period of the COVID-19 pandemic, and generated interviews with 17 service providers from third sector organisations and 30 migrant women.
