Dear friends and supporters of Advocates Abroad,
The construction of the new closed refugee camp on Lesvos is nearly complete. The other island closed camps are already operational. Remote legal aid and MHPSS services and DIY kits for self help are, and will be, critically needed by asylum applicants.
The below Google Drive was made in 2021 that provides the essentials for a successful interview for protection and safety from COVID-19. Kindly note, we are updating the information on the newly passed laws and language recordings.
This Google Drive contains many legal aid and MHPSS guides drafted by our teams. The guides are available for download or online views. They are available in English, French, Arabic, and Farsi. There are audio recordings also available in these languages.
Please share! https://bit.ly/43evsyI

Examples of the materials and guides:
1. The Greek asylum interviews and appeals procedural information and recommendations for organizing preparation and evidence;
2. Forms for preparing one's narrative, timeline, and evidence for the asylum interviews, fillable by the asylum applicant and legal counsellors;
3. Guides for the first instance appeal procedures, fillable by the asylum applicant and legal counsellors,
4. COVID-19 safety measures guides and recommendations;
5. Advice on conducting oneself during the interview;
