Egyptian Foundation for Refugee Rights (EFRR)

• Legal Emergency & Interviews

The legal aid provided by EFRR covers three domains:

(i) refugees facing arbitrary arrest, indefinite imprisonment and unlawful expulsion or refoulment;

(ii) refugee who are victims of crime; and,

(iii) refugees facing unjust prosecution for criminal acts.

Also the legal aid in Egyptian administrative proceedings has expanded to include matters related to housing, employment and the registration of personal status (births, marriages, divorces and deaths). In addition to providing services to victims of rights violations, EFRR proactively engages with refugee communities in order to educate refugees about their rights and avenues for redress and to assist refugees and refugee communities in the development of strategies to minimize and mitigate violations of rights.
