About Us

Asylum Access is a leading global refugee human rights organization.

Headquartered in Oakland, California with substantial operations in three countries plus partnerships in additional countries across Africa, Asia, and Latin America, Asylum Access works to make human rights a reality for refugees.

Our unique combination of policy advocacy and legal empowerment creates conditions in which refugees can live safely, move freely and work legally.

By supporting refugees to affirm their rights, we put power and agency back into their hands.

Our work transforms the traditional approach of endless humanitarian handouts to a sustainable solution that restores refugees’ freedom, dignity and autonomy, and empowers them to make choices about their own lives.

Asylum Access believes all refugees deserve a fair chance at a new life.

All over the world, we challenge barriers that keep refugees from living safely, moving freely, working and attendingschool — because when refugees can rebuild their lives, communities thrive.
