“Women on the Move” is a transdisciplinary network of European researchers who focus on historic and contemporary female labour mobility spanning six centuries to the present. The objective is to show the presence and economic contribution of female migrants in European history by revealing women as active migrants and builders of Europe – with economic means, belongings, assets and social networks – capable to overcome gendered obstacles. Ukraine in COST Action “Women on the Move” is represented by professors Igor Lyman and Victoria Konstantinova.
