The '''Humanitarian Affairs Unit''' | The '''Humanitarian Affairs Unit''' constituted a major department at [[Future Worlds Center]] which directly responded to the needs of vulnerable populations, with emphasis on asylum seekers and refugees for over 15 years. In 2018, a new, independent, non- profit organization, was established as the evolution of the Unit, called the [[Cyprus Refugee Council]] and all UNHCR, UNVFVT, EC, EPIM, ECRE, German Embassy and other funded projects were transferred to the new NGO. | ||
The Unit offered direct services to valnerable populations, and also advocated and raised awareness on related issues among stakeholders and the general public. The major projects implemented by the Unit were the [[UNHCR]] funded project which provides legal aid and social support to asylum seekers and refugees under the project name [[Strengthening Asylum]] and the [[UNVFVT]] funded project [[Unit for the Rehabilitation of Victims of Torture]] (URVT), which offers services and rehabilitation to victims of torture, who are asylum seekers and refugees. | |||
