Ukraine Situation Protection Profiling and Monitoring - October 2023 - April 2024

This dataset presents findings from Protection Profiling and Monitoring conducted by UNHCR and partners between October 2023 and April 2024 across Belarus, Bulgaria, Czechia, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Poland, Romania, and Slovakia. The objective of this regional exercise is to strengthen evidence-based protection responses by regularly collecting and analyzing data on the demographics, protection risks, legal needs, displacement patterns, and basic needs of refugees from Ukraine. Data was gathered through household-level interviews conducted face-to-face at border crossing points, reception and transit centers, collective sites, and assistance locations in major cities. The structured questionnaire was administered by trained enumerators from UNHCR and partner organizations using digital data collection tools. Although respondents were selected to reduce bias, the sample follows a non-probability design and results should be interpreted as indicative rather than statistically representative of the refugee population.
