“…These pursuits to regain or sustain control over ancestral land, which sustains their desired immobility, also resulted in the persistence of eco-violence among the conflicting parties. This study addressed the concerns raised by scholars (Esparza et al, 2020;Marston, 2020;Braithwaite, Cox and Ghosn, 2021;Masullo, 2021, p. 889) regarding the neglected factors influencing and sustaining immobility in conflict-affected communities. This novel approach offers a fresh perspective on the factors that influence and sustain immobility among community members in ungoverned spaces affected by eco-violence.…”

ing migration studies have neglected immobility and primarily focused on non-violent settings like IDP and refugee camps. However, in Africa’s Sahel region, characterised by violent conflicts between nomadic Fulani herders and sedentary farmers, little is known about the factors that influence and sustain immobility among conflict-affected communities. This paper examines the immobility experiences of farmers in conflict-affected communities in Nigeria, exploring why they choose to remain in their villages despite a lack of support from security agencies against non-state actor invasions. Conducted in May 2022, the study employs reflexive thematic analysis on data from 54 participants in Benue and Nasarawa states. Findings underscore the role of collective memory in shaping attachment to ancestral land and their adoption of immobility for its preservation. By addressing neglected factors in immobility within conflict-affected communities, this research contributes to the literature, emphasising the importance of understanding collective memory and its implications for contemporary behaviours.

“…People decide to leave their countries, inter alia, as a result of various forms of violence, such as an open conflict, terrorist activities and persecution for various reasons, for example, on ethnic or religious grounds (forced migration) (Baláž et al, 2021; Braithwaite et al, 2021; Davenport et al, 2003; Donato & Massey, 2016; Turkoglu & Chadefaux, 2019). As research shows, in addition to being driven by direct hostilities, displacement is also caused by indirect violence.…”

“…Other approaches stress cultural and linguistic considerations (Suzuki, 2022), geographical factors (distance between the residence and target countries: Moore & Shellman, 2007) and historical aspects (previous linkages, e.g., colonial ties or being previously part of the same state: Havinga & Böcker, 1999; Neumayer, 2004). A special role is played by social networks, not only among economic migrants but also of refugees (Adhikari, 2012; Braithwaite et al, 2021; Lamba & Krahn, 2003), including those from Ukraine. Research (Varpina & Fredheim, 2022) has found that ties were the main motivation for the refugees who fled from Ukraine to Latvia.…”

In late February 2022, the Russian invasion of Ukraine set‐off a tide of refugees heading west. The paper discusses the scale of the refugee flow into Poland, its distribution patterns and its influence on existing demographic structures (both captured at a local LAU 1 scale). By studying refugee flows at three time‐points, the study, on the one hand, offers a dynamic analysis and, on the other, identifies the spatial patterns behind the movements of the successive waves of refugees. Unexpected wave of recent immigration is likely to strengthen the demographic and settlement processes observable in Poland. The above pertains to both the overall concentration in major metropolitan areas, as well as to suburbanisation processes. The areas with the highest depopulation (eastern Poland) have recorded a relatively low influx of refugees. This implies that it cannot be expected that the immigration may be of a compensatory nature and that it will be helpful in making up for structural population losses in such areas.

“…An extraneous circumstance worth mentioning even though it is beyond the scope of this paper is armed conflict. With armed conflict, community members often either must flee or shelter in place with either reality increasing women's vulnerability to gender‐based violence including sexual violence from both intimate partners as well as armed militias (Braithwaite et al, 2021 ). The violence women frequently experience at the hands of specific institutions such as the military and law enforcement need to be taken into account in considering our approach to minimizing barriers to help seeking.…”

Aims This article discusses possible barriers to help‐seeking that Indigenous and Black women encountered when seeking help related to experiences of intimate partner violence during the COVID‐19 pandemic. Design This article is focused on understanding the impact of the COVID‐19 pandemic on populations at highest risk for intimate partner violence in its most severe forms. Data Sources Literature sources range from 2010 to 2022. The article is also informed by the experiences of scholars and advocates working with Indigenous and Black women experiencing intimate partner violence in Wisconsin. In our write‐up, we draw on Indigenous feminism and Black feminist thought. Implications for Nursing Help seeking is contextual. The context in which help seeking occurs or does not occur for Indigenous and Black women, due to the barriers we discuss is vital for nurses to understand in order to provide efficient and meaningful nursing care. Conclusion Our goal is to center the nursing profession in a leadership position in addressing the complex and unique needs of Indigenous and Black women who experience the highest rates of intimate partner violence and also experience the greatest barriers to care and support. Impact We seek to contribute theory‐driven knowledge that informs the work of nurses who are often the first to encounter survivors of intimate partner violence within the clinical setting. Help‐seeking is often hindered by factors such as geographic and jurisdictional, economic, and structural response barriers. This knowledge will enhance nurses' ability to lead and advocate for clinical practice and policies that minimize the barriers women experience following intimate partner violence, especially during pandemics, disasters, and other extraordinary circumstances. Public Contributions This article is based on the collaboration of community advocates, nurse scientists, and public health scholars, who work closely with Indigenous and Black survivors of violence and seek to meet their needs and offer them meaningful support.
