Advocacy & research

Amplifying refugee voices and self-representation

The problem

Displacement, security risks and power imbalances restrict refugees' ability to advocate, excluding crucial lived-experience expertise from policy and advocacy processes.

What we do

  • Facilitate meaningful participation of refugees in decision-making forums
  • Lead and join campaigns for equitable refugee policies and systemic change
  • Conduct and support research on meaningful refugee participation
The outcome we seekRefugees are at the centre of policy-making and research about refugees.
