RESEARCH METHODOLOGY AND DEMOGRAPHICS

As part of the ACCESS project, Right to Protection’s monitoring team conducted an assessment of communities to identify problems related to access to education, healthcare, and housing, as well as instances of gender-based violence and the needs of the most vulnerable population categories. Data was collected from 30 October 2023 to 30 April 2024, in Mykolaivska, Sumska, Kharkivska, and Dnipropetrovska oblasts through a structured survey. The total number of respondents who participated in the survey was 476 people.
The largest number of participants were surveyed in Sumska oblast, accounting for 39% of the total respondents. It was followed by respondents from Mykolaivska (27%) and Kharkivska (18%) oblasts. The fewest respondents were surveyed in Dnipropetrovska oblast (15%). Diagram 1 presents detailed information on the geographical distribution of the research.

The largest segment of survey participants was those aged 35 to 59 years, representing 76% of the total respondents. Individuals aged 60 and older constituted a smaller portion of participants, 14%.
