GREEK FORUM OF REFUGEES
The Greek Forum of Refugees is a multinational network. The founding
members are: the Afghan Migrants & Refugees Community in Greece (AMRCG),
the Association of Sudanese Refugees in Greece (ASRG), the Society of Somalia
in Greece (SSG) and the Greek Forum of Migrants (GFM). Members of GFR can be
any groups of refugees, organized in a formal or informal way.
GFR's main goal is to create a viable network that will unite all
refugees living in Greece through a joint course of action. GFR aims to provide assistance to refugees during the asylum procedure,
to protect their rights and help their integration in the Greek society.
The central idea of GFR is that none of the goals can be achieved without the participation of the refugees themselves.
