Global Detention Access Survey |
1. Survey description
Mapping access to places of immigration detention
The International Detention Coalition (IDC) is developing a global project aimed at mapping access to places of immigration detention in target regions and countries where the IDC and its members are actively working. This includes NGO, faith-based groups, civil society, community groups and other non-governmental actors, such as Human Rights Commissions, the Red Cross and UN bodies, across Africa, the Americas, Asia Pacific, Europe and Middle East.
With limited or non-existent detention access in many countries, affecting human rights monitoring and access to legal, health and social services, the project aims to be a resource to IDC members and its stakeholders, including:
* Assisting in the development of a confidential referral mechanism
* Identifying local and national contacts working in or visiting places of immigration detention around the world
* Assist in individual case, advocacy and practice, policy and legal issues arising
* Identify the benefits of access, to encourage enhanced and open visitation, access and monitoring around the world.
Given the risks of loss of access for groups visiting places of immigration detention, all survey participants will remain confidential.
The survey will only take around 5 minutes to complete. A follow-up interview will be organised for those interested in participating further in the project.
