Description
Immigrants, refugees and asylum seekers in Romania must face language, cultural, economic barriers, the lack of knowledge regarding social and health systems, social and system discrimination. Furthermore, they must face the discrepancy between the law and its implementation which can limit their access to some rights. This is when a group becomes underserved and socially excluded. In Brasov these types of problems have been identified by the immigrants and they have reported them to the Migrant Integration Center Brasov, managed by our NGO. The project aims to improve and increase the quality of our information and counselling services, the modernization of the Information Point for migrants that we established at the immigration office in Brasov in 2014, increasing the capacity of migrants by learning the Romanian language, developing self-help and socio-cultural initiatives, advocacy for local and public authorities and the private sector for the socio-economic inclusion of migrants and activities for organizational improvement. The NGO working in the field in Romania must face a continuous sub-funded environment even if the number of immigrants is significantly increasing every year. Migrant Integration Center Brasov has been active for the past 10 years and it also faces the lack of constant funding/sub-funding that affects and limits the assistance or migrants. The increasing number of migrants and the complexity of their problems require not only the improvement of the present services that we provide, but also the introduction of new and problem oriented services. Migrant Integration Center Brasov has been created due to lack of these services in Brasov, and our partner, CNRR, has as mission to defend human rights in gene arl and the rights of migrants, refugees and asylum seekers through all the existent legal means.
