Measuring Protection by Numbers is the outcome of a cooperative effort by the Division of International Protection Services (DIPS) and the Division of Operational Services (DOS) to compile global data relevant to core protection functions. Its intention is to illustrate, primarily by numbers, the state of international protection measured through the programmes both of UNHCR and its partners. The information herein has been collected for the most part from UNHCR sources. In some areas, substantiated global data is not fully available. The text is therefore a work-in-progress.
