Do the human right thing – Raising our Voice for Refugee Rights

About this project

<p>Violations of refugee and asylum seeker rights, especially with regards to access to housing, health, employment and education, that is, four basic aspects of human life and dignity, are continuously recorded.</p> <p>The project aims at systematically bringing to the fore these issues and promoting targeted solutions through a web of multidimensional activities at multiple levels and with an array of target groups. It includes monitoring, advocacy, information and awareness-raising activities as well as trainings.</p> <p>More specifically, the partners will compile reports regarding access of refugees and asylum seekers to human rights, including putting forward policy proposals and carrying out systematic advocacy actions targeted at decision makers in Greece and EU institutions. The wider public will be systematically informed through a digital campaign, the work of Popaganda as well as the national and local media with which the project partners will work. Significantly, journalists are also a target group of this project. Refugees and asylum seekers will be informed via the Refugee.Info platform, which will be kept up to date as part of this project. Finally, university students in education and journalism as well as public servants will be trained on issues pertaining to the four human rights in question, while workshops will also be delivered to unaccompanied children.</p> <p>Besides overall coordination, GCR, together with IRC and Diotima and with Popaganda’s contribution, will take over monitoring and advocacy. GCR, IRC and Diotima will provide trainings. Diotima will be in charge of the digital campaign. Popaganda will cover the project activities as well as carry out a series of journalism projects. Collaboration between GCR, IRC and Diotima with other media outlets will further enhance the dissemination of the project messages.</p>
