Global Congress Survey: Identifying Trends and Needs
Dear friends,

This is a small survey targeted at identifying the core issues that you consider threats or opportunities to digital rights and human rights in your region in the years ahead.

We hope its results will help us all to decide how to allocate resources moving forward. Additionally, we hope it will also help identify relevant, under-resourced areas in terms of time, people and funding. Those areas might represent opportunities to strengthen our collective sector around the world.

Please note that you can answer this research anonymously, but for better results, we ask that you do include your organization name if you can. Also, if you do not note your organization, we cannot return raw survey data to you. The survey will take less than 30 minutes, and we hope it will be helpful to all of us for years to come.

Kindest regards,

Carolina Rossini, Melanie Penagos and Michael Baak
