QCPD Cross-Border Voices

Survey for Migrant Workers and Human Rights Defenders

Introductory word

On behalf of all QCPD members, we want to express our gratitude for your time

today. Whether you are a migrant worker yourself or part of an organisation supp-

-orting them, your insights are instrumental in helping us identify contemporary

barriers to the delivery of adequate assistance and resources to the people it wants

to reach. Please rest assured that your responses will be stored safely and will only

be used in an anonymised version for research and advocacy purposes, based on

your express consent and authorisation.

Why is this important?

Sharing your experience, opinions and thoughts freely will contribute to improving

available policies, services,  and support systems, and influence policies.  We want

to ensure that the perspectives of as many affected persons,  survivors of human

rights abuses, as well as experienced front-line defenders and practitioners, continue

to be an integral part of the global discourse and shape tomorrow’s way to seek justice

for those who await it.
