Migration from the new European Union (EU) Member States to the United Kingdom (UK) has been identified as one of the most significant social phenomena of recent times and has been studied extensively, particularly since 2004. Although gendered studies of migration are now gaining recognition, there is limited literature in relation to Polish women. There is now much evidence to support the view that migrant women constitute a large proportion of international migrants; within the European context, migrant women already outnumber their male counterparts. Drawing on a review of secondary literature and preliminary findings from new qualitative research undertaken in Poland and the UK, this paper explores how Polish migrant women negotiate their lives in regard to work and welfare responsibilities when exercising their rights as EU citizens. It is argued that migrant women should be seen as active decision makers and that migration may be considered as an opportunity to bring about change in relation to gender roles. It is concluded that migration presents an opportunity to re-evaluate gender norms.

Migracje z nowych państw członkowskich Unii Europejskiej (UE) do United Kingdom (UK) zostały określone jako jeden z najbardziej znaczących procesów społecznych ostatnich czasów. Migracje te stanowią popularny przedmiot badań szczególnie po roku 2004. Pomimo tego iż studia genderowe zyskują uznanie, niewiele z nich uwzględnia polskie migrantki. Źrodła podają że migrantki stanowią dużą proporcję miedzynarodowych migrantów, zaś w kontekście europejskim, migrujące kobiety przewarzają nad migrującymi mężczyznami. Powyższy artykuł został stworzony na podstawie przeglądu źródeł zastanych oraz wstępnych wyników z nowych badań jakościowych przeprowadzonych w Polsce oraz UK. Artykuł ten opisuje jak polskie migrantki negocjują swoje obowiązki w odniesieniu do pracy na etacie oraz opieki nad domem/dziećmi kiedy przemieszczają się między krajami UE jako jej obywatelki. Autorka argumentuje iż migrantki powinny być postrzegane jako aktywne decydentki, zaś sam proces migracyjny niesie ze sobą potencjał zmian w kwestii ich ról płci. Konkludując, proces migracyjny może zainicjować ponowną ocenę ról związanych z płcią.

Migration from the new European Union (EU) Member States to the United Kingdom (UK) has been identified as one of the most significant social phenomena of recent times and Accession 8 (A8) migration to the UK has been studied extensively particularly since 2004. Even though gendered studies of migration are now attaining recognition, there is limited literature in relation to Polish migrant women. What is more, there is now much evidence to support the view that migrant women constitute a large proportion of international migrants. In fact, when considering migration within the European context, migrant women now outnumber their male counterparts. Drawing on a review of secondary literature and preliminary findings from new fieldwork research undertaken in Poland and the UK in 2012, this paper explores how Polish migrant women exercise their rights as EU citizens to better their own and their families’ wellbeing. As the consequence of their newly acquired rights as EU citizens, Polish migrant women appear to be active agents who make use of the resources and opportunities that migration offers. It is concluded that migration within the EU presents positive opportunities for Polish migrant women to actively engage with and exercise national and EU citizenship rights.
