Fenix – Humanitarian Legal Aid
Legal Empowerment
On Lesvos and in Athens, we support individuals navigating asylum procedures with a holistic, human-centred approach. Our clients face many obstacles in accessing, and violations of, their rights. Viewing our clients as more than just legal cases, we address their diverse needs with legal and protection specialists, using trauma-informed care. On Lesvos, we offer essential legal information and counsel inside the refugee camp, assisting over 1300 people this year. In Athens, our attorneys offer full legal representation throughout the entire asylum process.
Structural Change
We use the information we get from our clients and from being based at the frontline of the EU borders to pursue a range of advocacy efforts, from raising awareness to communications with relevant stakeholders, and from seeking interventions from European Courts to working with people who seek asylum on publications.
