As of August 2017, Refugee Rights Turkey launches and prints updated new versions of the comprehensive legal information materials for Non-Syrian asylum seekers we first published in February 2016. The 4-piece set of information materials are made available in Turkish, English, Farsi, Arabic, French and Somali. They are meant for asylum seekers from countries of origin other than Syria, who are subject to the international protection procedure administered by Turkey’s Directorate General for Migration Management (DGMM). The materials are also intended to benefit lawyers and NGO practitioners that work with Non-Syrian asylum seekers.
The 4 information booklets focus on: application and legal determinations for international protection status and rights associated, access to healthcare, access to education and access to legal employment respectively. The currently re-launched updated versions integrate changes in legislation and implementation since the original launch of the materials last year.
Our newly updated legal information materials for non-Syrian asylum seekers can be accessed via the Publications section of our website. Print versions are intended for wide dissemination among refugee communities, NGOs and bar associations around Turkey. To request copies for dissemination by your bar association or NGO, please get in touch with us at: [email protected]
