Description
In the context of the humanitarian crisis caused by the war in Ukraine, Romania became home to over 80.000 displaced Ukrainians.
Many of them are in vulnerable situations, and this vulnerability is likely to deepen with the passage of time, exposing refugees to
economic precarity, possible abuses, limited access to rights and tensions with the host community.
At the same time, despite the efforts of numerous humanitarian actors, refugees'' access to clear and accessible sources of legal
information remains limited, which further exposes them. The "CDMiR 4 Ukraine: Raising awareness of human rights and equal
treatment for Ukrainian refugees in Romania" project aims to address this issue by providing services and information materials for
Ukrainian refugees, especially in terms of access to socio- economic rights. Given that access to the labor market is an essential
element of the process of integration and empowerment of refugees, through the project training services regarding work and
entrepreneurship in Romania will be offered in a complementary manner.
In parallel, the project will raise awareness among public authorities, civil society and other relevant actors regarding the rights of
Ukrainian refugees, encourage local and national cooperation, including through the conclusion of relevant partnerships, and
contribute to the mapping of services existing. Last but not least, following consultation with refugee communities, we will initiate a
series of data-driven advocacy efforts to improve the legal and policy framework for refugee integration.
