In January 2023, IOM Austria in cooperation with the Austrian Federal Ministry of the Interior and the Austrian Integration Fund, conducted an online survey among 552 displaced persons from Ukraine residing in Austria. The aim was to collect data on the living and housing situation in order to identify potential risks of experiencing violence, exploitation or abuse. Further information can be found here.

The data collected were analysed using the IOM Determinants of Migrant Vulnerability Model in order to promote a broad understanding of possible risk factors. The model looks at risk factors (which contribute to vulnerability) and protective factors (which increase resilience) and how they interact. The survey collected data on individual factors, household/family factors and community factors.

A Survey Report that presents, analyses and interprets the data has now been published. It also provides some considerations for policy and practice.
