Asylum Access
Asylum Access is an innovative international nonprofit dedicated to making refugee rights a reality. We empower refugees in Africa, Asia, and Latin America to live safely, work legally, send their children to school, and rebuild their lives with dignity. As human rights advocates, we recognize, restore, and amplify the power of individuals who have been forcibly displaced from their home countries. We strive to create a world where refugees everywhere can live safely, move freely, work, attend school, and rebuild their lives. Our advocacy focuses on responses to forced displacement that honor refugees’ freedom, dignity, and autonomy while strengthening the communities that welcome them.
Mission
Our mission is to make refugee rights a reality in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. We achieve this by providing legal assistance, advocating for policy changes, and empowering refugees to assert their human rights. Learn more about how we accomplish our mission here.
Vision
We envision a world where refugees are seen as people with rights, not just people with needs. By empowering refugees to assert their human rights, we aim to create effective, lasting solutions for displaced individuals around the globe.
Why Is Asylum Access Different?
Asylum Access is the only international organization solely dedicated to making refugee rights a reality in first countries of refuge. Our unique combination of five integrated strategies provides grassroots assistance and transforms the legal landscape for refugees and their host communities. By helping refugees assert their rights, we put power back into their hands. Our work shifts the traditional approach from endless humanitarian handouts to sustainable solutions that enable refugees to provide for themselves and make choices about their own lives.
