PRESS RELEASES
As an association of refugee and migrant communities, we are determined to raise the voice of the voiceless people stepping up for matters that concern us all. After all, whatever affects one of us, potentially affects us all.
CAMPAIGNS
We are launching campaigns that aim to raise awareness on migration issues by activating our networks to step up and advocate for an immediate response to challenges. We consider that campaigning is one of the most powerful tool we have in our possession, in order to deal with emergency situations, tackle stereotypes and ultimately promote GFR’s values and principles
STORY ABOUT US
EVERYONE. EVERYWHERE. EQUAL VALUE.
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

OUR MISSION
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
