How have we collected the data?
The data that makes up the report is divided into three parts:
First, an online questionnaire was disseminated to the public via several channels, including social media, engagement events, visits to community centers/mosques, and word-of-mouth. The survey remained open from December 2022 until February 2023.
Second, we conducted two focus groups, one with women in late February 2023, and another with youth (aged 16-24) in early March 2023.
Third, we interviewed a few prominent ethnic Pakistanis in Birmingham who hold positions of leadership.
