The crucial role of civil society
During the great influx of refugees, which many called the “refugee crisis”, civil society stood up and showed its support not only throughout Europe, but worldwide, for those who had to flee from war-torn, insecure and hostile regions. In particular, the months between August 2015 and early 2016 would simply not have been possible without this intervention and the active presence of civil society.
Research
This report is based on a multinational analysis, in the course of which reports from seven countries were collected and compared by means of 38 interviews and three focus groups. The result is an overall view of the situation of refugees and the consequences and trends associated with it, which illustrates the role of civil society and highlights challenges.
Coordination
Franjo Steiner (IZ)
During the crisis that followed – a crisis that could be called a political crisis and a “crisis of responsibility and solidarity” – civil society stood up, not only throughout Europe but worldwide, and showed its support for those who had to flee from war-torn, insecure and hostile regions.
