The following thesis combines Peace and Conflict Studies and Migration Studies with Disability studies. Almost 10 million people with disabilities are fleeing war. Little is known about the refugee experiences of people with disabilities and their family members. Through the life history approach, this thesis explores the motivations, goals, and content of the journey. Therefore, four life history interviews were conducted with four people with disabilities and two family members who fled from Ukraine or Syria to Germany and Sweden. The participants' disabilities range from physical and audio-visual to psychological. The aspects elaborated by BenEzer and Zetter; wayfarer characteristics, drivers and destination, the content of the journey and temporal characteristics are addressed and divided into before, during and after the journey. The refugee experience is particularly challenging for people with disabilities, as they are affected by physical barriers and a lack of services and information. They experience the uncertainty and stress of flight particularly intensely and during such times rely especially on people they trust. The study shows how complex and individual each flight story is, with disability playing a central role in their flight experience and subsequent arrival in the host country.
