Regional Evictions Survey 2020 (Colombia, Ecuador, Peru...and 4 more)

Abstract

Due to this year's mobility restrictions across the region implemented to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, national needs assessments have identified a higher risk/impact of evictions for the Venezuelan refugee and migrant populations, linked to the reduction or loss of livelihoods as well as to increased xenofobia and discrimination. The Protection Sector of the Regional Coordination Platform for the response to refugees and migrants from Venezuela (R4V) implemented the initiative of a regional, systematic data collection process to assess the magnitude and characteristics of the situation, as well as to identify risk profiles and factors, to better design protection strategies that led to the development of a regional toolbox for the mitigation of evictions risks available here: https://www.r4v.info/en/evictiontools
