Urban Refugees - Raising the voice of the invisible

URBAN REFUGEES is a non-profit organisation that aims to advance the rights of urban refugees and Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and to promote more adapted humanitarian policies for urban displaced through networking, documentation and advocacy activities. In our Platform, we gather a number of organisations throughout the world that are committed to improving the lives of urban refugees and urban IDPs.
