OUR MISSION

It is our belief that equality and dignity of every person are the basis of sound law. Therefore, we strive to ensure that the rights of those with refugee and migration experience are respected and that each person may feel welcome in Poland.

VISION

We take responsibility for society and the world around us. It is our belief that the law must protect every human being, especially those at risk of exclusion. Whenever the rights of those with migration and refugee experience are violated, we intervene, employing legislative tools for this purpose.

Sound law ought to keep pace with a rapidly changing world, of which migration is an integral part. It is our intention to create a society that is supportive and not exclusive. Where diversity has its place and every person is treated with respect, regardless of origin or religion.

OUR ACTIVITIES

There are many ways in which we strive to achieve our goals:

  • we provide free of charge legal assistance to migrants and refugees in Poland
  • when fundamental rights of migrants are at risk, we represent them before Polish courts and the European Court of Human Rights and we also make third-party interventions in pending proceedings
  • we take an active part in social consultations related to legal acts pertaining to the situation of migrants in Poland. We respond to any breaches of their rights as soon as possible
  • we help migrants navigate in a new reality in Poland. We work to improve their integration, as well as access to medical, social and housing assistance in Poland
  • we conduct research, carry out watchdog activities and prepare expert opinions in the sphere of migration
  • we actively participate in conferences in Poland and abroad, as well as in meetings of international organisations monitoring the observance of human rights in Poland, notifying them of main threats to the rights of migrants in Poland.
