Survey: Assessing the impact of COVID-19 on refugees and migrants

Philippine Consulate General Shanghai

SURVEY

The Consulate General of the Philippines in Shanghai invites Filipinos working in Shanghai and the provinces of Anhui, Hubei, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang (as well as their fellow Filipinos working overseas) to participate in WHO ApartTogether Survey for Overseas Filipinos.  ApartTogether is a global study which aims to better understand the psychosocial impact of COVID-19 on refugees and migrants.  The results of the survey will be used to inform and support policy and decision-makers on how they can better support refugees and migrants during and after this global health crisis. ApartTogether is a collaboration between WHO, across its regional offices, the UN System, and a consortium of research centers led by Ghent University and the University of Copenhagen.   For Filipinos, the target respondents are: 1) Filipinos who have migrated to other countries including their Philippine-born children aged 16 years old and above; and 2) Filipinos in other countries, OFWs, including those who lost their jobs and those stranded due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The responses will ensure that the situation of Filipinos will be considered in any new policies because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The survey can be accessed through the following links:
