3. Methodologies Responses from this survey were collected using the KoBoToolbox online survey tool and through quantitative research. A set of questionnaires was distributed among partner organizations and individuals of Athan to ensure a diverse range of respondents across Myanmar. This online survey consists of 35 questions designed to help respondents explore their personal emotions in relation to external factors. Given that different administrations partially control various regions of Myanmar, the survey categorizes these areas based on the current situation within the country—identifying which administration is in power, whether it be the military regime, the National Unity Government, or Ethnic Armed Organizations. This survey presents three approaches for respondents to consider regarding the administrative territory in which they reside: (1) Protection of freedom of expression, (2) practical restrictions on freedom of expression, and (3) legal restrictions on freedom of expression. The survey differentiates between the laws and practices of each administration using these three approaches. 4. Challenges The primary challenge for this survey is the occurrence of internet and communication blackouts. Respondents need internet access to participate. For instance, in Rakhine State, where internet access is completely shut down, there is only one respondent. Athan has advised respondents from military-controlled areas to answer the questions only in safe places, such as their homes.
