Abstract

This report is Part 2 of a wider research project undertaken by the University of Sunderland (UoS) and International Community Organisation of Sunderland (ICOS). This report outlines findings from focus groups with Eastern European women and semi-structured interviews and a focus group with service providers working with Eastern European women in Tyne and Wear, UK. The purpose of this research was to follow up on previous survey findings with Eastern European women living in Tyne and Wear, which are published in the Part 1 report. The overarching aim of this research was to gain knowledge and understanding on two aspects of the lived experience of Eastern European women in Tyne and Wear, including their experiences and concerns in relation to hate crime and discrimination, and their wider needs in relation to local services.
