The Greek Forum of Refugees (GFR) is a network of refugee and migrant Communities, individuals and professionals working to support and advocate for the rights of asylum seekers, refugees, migrants and stateless persons in Greece and empower Communities though workshops on employability and sustainability
Today, eleven (11) formal Communities are members of the GFR with several unofficial ones also cooperating with us. The GFR’s legal status is that of an association and was created by concerned individuals of refugee and migrant background in 2012, though it was conceived as an idea since 2010
It was a very early step towards Self-Advocacy and had a clear perspective on promoting an essential inclusion and joint participation of both the refugee/migrant and the local population
The Board of Directors is composed of people of a refugee and migrant background

The 2020 has been a difficult year. The pandemic affected all of us. Some of us have been affected more, passing through a difficult time. At this moment it is essential that we leave no one behind. We need to support once again the people who need us the most.
Φίλες και φίλοι,
Το 2020 ήταν μία δύσκολη χρονιά για όλους μας. Η πανδημία επηρέασε τον κόσμο μας οριζόντια. Άλλους λιγότερο, μα άλλους περισσότερο. Σε αυτή τη στιγμή περνάμε όλοι δύσκολα. Δεν πρέπει να αφήσουμε κανέναν πίσω σε αυτή τη δύσκολη φάση. Ειδικά αυτούς που μας έχουν περισσότερο ανάγκη.
We are the refugee and migrant communities. We are on the field with the refugee population that resides in camps and other facilities. We are witnessing people suffering in the streets.

The GFR’s mission is that of a holistic inclusion and the active participation of refugees and migrants in the host society
The term “holistic” covers both social and political inclusion, for we consider refugees/migrants as active citizens who have rights, as well as obligations, in an inclusive and democratic society
In order to realize our mission we are engaged in several different activities such as
Advocating for an effective inclusion and the active participation of refugees and migrants in the host society
Defending the rights of asylum seekers, refugees and people affected by statelessness in several fields (asylum procedures, employment, education etc.)
Empowering communities and individuals by promoting self advocacy and effective communication through workshops, seminars and participation in round tables with relevant stakeholders
Empowering women by encouraging them to use their skills, enhancing them at the same time through workshops and seminars in order to become sustainable and help them in acquiring a job position
Providing proper information to asylum seekers and refugees concerning their rights and obligations
Raising awareness on important issues (e.g. statelessness) and on active participation for an inclusive and democratic society
Mediating between the communities and relevant stakeholders enhancing, in this way, networking in a local, national and European level
