Polish Women in Iceland, with Anna Marjankowska

Smá pláss

Sunna and Elín live in Iceland, which is also home to just over 17,000 Polish immigrants. Anna Marjankowska, board member of the Efling trade union, joins Smá Pláss this week to talk about Polish women in Iceland, the issues they face, such as employment below their qualifications, and getting stuck in certain sectors of work. Sunna, Elín and Anna discuss the Women's Day Off, Polish stereotypes, reasons for moving to Iceland and how Icelanders can welcome Polish immigrants in a more enthusiastic way. This week's Smá Pláss is a collaboration with RÚV English, to ensure the inclusion of non-Icelandic speakers in this particular topic: Polish women in Iceland. Að þessu sinni er Smá Pláss unnið í samstarfi við RÚV English og því spreyta Sunna og Elín sig á ensku í þætti vikunnar. Gestur þáttarins er Anna Marjankowska, meðlimur í stjórn Eflingar. Hún ræðir við Sunnu og Elínu um aðstæður pólskra kvenna á íslenskum vinnumarkaði, staðalmyndir, kvennafrídaginn og hvernig Íslendingar geta tekið betur á móti Pólskum innflytjendum.
