A Comparative Analysis of Gender-Related Persecution
in National Asylum Legislation and Practice in Europe
Contact List for Future Research
The following list compiles the names and available contact details for organisations and individuals considered to be potentially relevant for future studies on gender-related persecution in national asylum legislation and practice in Europe.
Sources for this list are primarily although not exclusively: relevant members of the European Council for Refugees and Exiles, suggestions from UNHCR country offices, and references in UNHCR Annual Protection Reports. In some cases where organisations have been mentioned in Annual Protection Reports, contact details are not yet known, but UNHCR country offices should be contacted to obtain these. In addition, contacts in developed during the research project have been included.
The Red Cross has offices in many of these countries, and is involved in refugee work. However this work is not usually legal, and so Red Cross contacts are not listed here unless they have specifically stated that they carry out legal work.
Only some national Refugee Councils undertake legal representation - however all Refugee Councils are listed here as they often carry out research and are aware of legal issues.
Lastly, it should be noted that a further resource is available for relevant contacts, from ELENA, the European Legal Network on Asylum. The ELENA Index of Useful Addresses is published annually, in co-operation with the Swiss Refugee Council (OSAR/SFH). This directory of legal services, available to refugees and asylum seekers, is an important tool for lawyers seeking contacts in other European countries. It is available from the Swiss Refugee Council.
