Welcome to the ‘HELP’ website run by UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency. Here, refugees, asylum-seekers and stateless persons, as well as their family members and people who assist them, can obtain information about the asylum procedure and available services in Sweden
Are you a Syrian refugee in Europe? UNHCR wants to hear from you! Your voice matters!
Share your thoughts in a short (5–10 min) anonymous survey to help UNHCR advocate for the right support. Following December 2024 developments in Syria and acknowledging recent events, UNHCR is conducting research with individuals who sought asylum in Europe to better understand their current situation and future plans. Deciding whether to stay or return to Syria can be challenging, and circumstances may change over time. This survey aims to understand your thoughts and concerns to help UNHCR advocate for the right support, regardless of your decision. All responses are strictly anonymous, we do not collect any personal data, and no individual will be identifiable. Participation is entirely voluntary and will not affect in any way your individual asylum case and/or your current legal status. Please find the link to the survey here: 📝Survey for Syrians in Europe
