No. 6 (2023)

The next volume of the journal Fabrica Societatis is a thematic issue devoted to family conflict and domestic violence. It consists of seven articles that, on the basis of empirical data, consider the complex matters like: the barriers between migrant families and aid institutions, patterns of violence in Polish and Ukrainian families, the practice of the value of the family, new social problems as a challenge for diagnostic tools in social assistance, the experience of domestic violence by Ukrainian migrant women arriving in Poland after February 24, 2022. In the articles authors reconstruct violent behaviors (falling under psychological, physical and economic violence) undertaken by men towards women.

They also present the extent and strength of control exercised by them, which is resulting mainly from the male role scenario implemented in the family. All empirical data came from the project "Patterns of violence in Ukrainian families and their anchoring in the axionormative structures of the Ukrainian population moving to Wrocław due to the armedconflict with the Russian Federation" carried out at the Institute of Sociology of the University of Wroclaw, commissioned by the MOPS in Wroclaw and financed by the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF). The research consisted of two modules: qualitative (partially structured interviews conducted with women of Ukrainian nationality) and quantitative (carried out on three purposive samples: people of Polish nationality from the Lower Silesia region, migrants of Ukrainian nationality residing in the Lower Silesia region, and women from families with confirmed history of violence (these women are at the present time under the care of MOPS social workers in Wroclaw). The data were collected in the first half of 2023.
