This text presents sociological research conducted by sociologists from the Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński University in 2023 in the Pallottine Centre “Future for Ukraine”. Taking into consideration social characteristics of the research sample consisting of the Ukrainian women – war refugees – the researchers adopted qualitative methodology based on the semi-structured interview technique. The paper-based interview scenario was a research instrument, and the respondents replied via written essay directly on the sheets handed out to women. All the questions were translated into Ukrainian. The Ukrainian women who stayed in Ołtarzew described experience and attitudes towards eight spheres: specificity of the place, adaptation, safety, religiosity, emotions, problems, losses, plans, and dreams. Ultimately 28 women who had lived in the Centre participated in the research. They were characterised by social-demographic heterogeneity that allowed to show complexity of their life in the current situation.
