Advocacy
In both countries of asylum and countries of origin, we work within national political, economic and social structures to bring policies, practices and laws into compliance with international standards.
In times of forced displacement, we use advocacy to influence governments, non-governmental partners and the public at large to adopt practices that ensure the protection of those in need.
