    About Us

    International Refugee Rights Association (IRRA) is an independent civil society organization dedicated to protecting the rights, dignity, and safety of refugees, asylum-seekers, and stateless people. Since its founding, IRRA has combined legal aid, independent monitoring, advocacy, and community-based programs to help displaced people claim their rights and build safer futures.

    Our Goals: Ensure access to justice and services, prevent harm by documenting abuses, combat discrimination and exclusion, and strengthen refugee participation in decision-making.

    What We Do: Provide legal aid in asylum, documentation, detention, and family unity cases; monitor field conditions and return centers; advocate before national and international mechanisms; and deliver training for volunteers, lawyers, and institutions.
