The questionnaire at the base of this study was developed in collaboration with the three young researchers. It sought to understand perceptions of demand and supply of legal aid services from the point of view of Palestinian youth in the region. The target respondents included youth aged between 15 to 29 as well as adults over the age of 33 years in order to obtain insight into the lifecycle of legal needs experienced by Palestinian youth. The questionnaire asked respondents about what they perceived were the most pressing legal needs of Palestinian youth and to what extent legal services were available to meet these needs.
The report presented three main recommendations concerning raising the legal awareness of Palestinian refugee youth,providing legal aid services to them and for greater inclusion and representation of Palestinian youth in all processes that impact them. This includes having a youth-oriented approach to research and data collection. Service providers must continue to engage youth in the research,design and implementation of projects addressing their situation.
