Innovative Human Rights NGO Seeks Community Legal Empowerment Manager

About Asylum Access


We are human rights advocates who support forcibly displaced individuals and communities as they reclaim their rights, agency, and power.


Our unique combination of legal empowerment, policy advocacy, and global systems change creates conditions in which refugees can live safely, move freely, work legally, and go to school.

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


Asylum Access' global team and family of local civil society organizations advocate making human rights a reality for refugees throughout Africa, Asia, and Latin America.

Our national organizations are led and staffed primarily by community members in those countries, and there is strong mutual trust and respect between us and our clients.

On the international stage, we work with established institutions to shift the global system to better uphold and promote refugees' human rights.

We can help catalyze and lead systemic transformation because, uniquely among NGOs in the refugee response sector, we focus exclusively on rights and governance.
