About
At the inaugural Global Refugee Forum (GRF), 28 law firms, bar associations, and corporations and 55 legal and community empowerment organizations pledged to support efforts to protect and find solutions for refugees and others forcibly displaced in solidarity by initiating and engaging in on going dialogue in order to better leverage material and increase resources. Since then, the number of signatories has increased to the list below. Join them by signing the pledge here.
It is estimated that the current commitments could provide legal aid to over 43,000 refugees around the world.
