A fantastic explainer on community-centered legal aid for refugees… This article by former AMERA legal consultant Chuol Sion Yat, written with Adhar Marup from St. Andrew’s Refugee Services (StARS), is a brilliant demonstration of the work that displaced lawyers and community paralegals can do to increase access to legal protection and asylum. Inspired as always by the work of StARS, we are looking forward to building closer connections with refugee-led organizations to strengthen resources available for community-centered legal aid initiatives.
