"Improvement of the Situation of Asylum Seekers in Cyprus" is a project funded by the Federal Republic of Germany. The project aims to take a holistic approach by working both at the individual and the societal levels. By offering legal services, we will respond to the needs of the target population, who are one of the most marginalised groups in the country and by launching public advocacy and awareness-raising activities we will affect xenophobic public attitudes, discriminatory state policies and practices in an effort to make Cyprus a more inclusive and accepting host society. This projects works complimentary to the other projects of the [[Humanitarian Affairs Unit]]. | "Improvement of the Situation of Asylum Seekers in Cyprus" is a project funded by the Federal Republic of Germany.
