Access to justice for refugees and asylum seekers is too often hindered by limited resources, fragmented information, and systemic barriers. Around the world, legal advisors and organizations face similar challenges. Many have developed effective and innovative ways to navigate legal frameworks and use available mechanisms innovatively and creatively to uphold the rights of displaced people.
Why We Collaborate
At AsyLex Global, we believe collaboration is key. By working together, we become more effective, share solutions that work, avoid duplication, and amplify our collective impact. Our collaborative approach is rooted in the idea that shared knowledge leads to stronger advocacy, and that access to justice can only be achieved by working together.
How We Collaborate
We build lasting partnerships with law firms, legal advisors, and refugee-led initiatives worldwide. Together, we work to strengthen access to justice through four key areas:
Co-developing the Rights in Exile Platform
We jointly maintain and expand our legal information databases so that displaced people and their advocates can access accurate, up-to-date legal resources across multiple jurisdictions.
Additionally, we keep growing our database of local legal advisors and organisations that can be contacted for support.
Joint Strategic Litigation
We partner with legal professionals in different countries to bring cases before international human rights bodies. By sharing strategies and testing legal pathways across borders, we learn together and assess how effectively these mechanisms deliver access to justice when national systems fall short.
Peer Exchange and Capacity Building
We facilitate and regularly engage in knowledge exchange among legal initiatives worldwide, sharing good practices, exploring the innovative use of legal tools, and supporting each other’s efforts to make justice more accessible.
Centering Refugee Perspectives
We engage with people who have lived experience of the asylum system to ensure that the way we present legal information is relevant, accessible, and user-focused. Their insights shape our language, priorities, and approach. Looking ahead, we are committed to further strengthening and expanding refugee participation across all aspects of our work.
