PRO ASYL

PRO ASYL is an inde­pen­dent voice rai­sed for human rights and refu­gee pro­tec­tion in Ger­ma­ny and Euro­pe. Its work is finan­ced sole­ly by mem­bers­hip fees, dona­ti­ons and grants from its foun­da­ti­on / from foundations.

PRO ASYL was foun­ded in 1986 by mem­bers of refu­gee coun­cils, church­es, tra­de uni­ons, wel­fa­re and human rights orga­ni­sa­ti­ons. They wan­ted to coun­ter­act the rightwing, racist inci­te­ment to ill fee­ling against asyl­um see­kers and to cam­pai­gn for the pro­tec­tion of vic­tims of per­se­cu­ti­on. The­se con­cerns are just as urgent today.

Our work is made pos­si­ble by our many spon­sors, donors and Foun­da­ti­on mem­bers. Thanks to their sup­port we are poli­ti­cal­ly and finan­cial­ly inde­pen­dent. It is important for PRO ASYL to main­tain clo­se con­nec­tions with a strong demo­cra­tic, huma­ni­ta­ri­an and human rights-ori­en­ted civil socie­ty. And every year more and more peop­le sup­port our work for refugees.
