Abstract

Abstract The living situation of Ukrainian refugees in the Czech Republic can be explored from various perspectives. However, the currently available data are not able to provide a sufficient view of the refugee situation. These data are rather economic (related to financial situation, employment, wage disadvantage, use of state aid, etc) and do not provide, for example, information on daily needs. Our goal is therefore to give a voice to refugees from Ukraine to describe their current perception of their life situation and based on this establish implications for social work. The data were created through the perspective of participatory research using the photovoice method (individual and group) interviews (n = 13), online responsive questionnaire survey (n = 41) and a final photo exhibition. According to the available data, the context of life situation was created by economic well-being. But the key theme of life situation of Ukrainian refugees was loneliness. An interesting aspect is the gender dimension of activities coping with loneliness, which especially includes the ‘typically female role’ of childcare.
