University of Oxford is a chapter of Global Legal Empowerment Brigades, an international movement of students and attorneys providing legal education and financial resources for vulnerable families to resolve legal challenges. Global Brigades offers 7-day Legal Empowerment Brigades year-round in Honduras and Greece. In Honduras, we focus on supporting remote, rural, and under-resourced communities that have limited or no access to legal services. In Greece, our work centers on assisting people on the move, ensuring they receive the international protection and legal support they need. Throughout the week, Legal Empowerment Brigade volunteers will be supporting to increase access to the universal right to justice for refugees and asylum seekers. Partnering with the Greek Council for Refugees and focusing on human rights education, volunteers provide practical legal education that aligns with our mission to increase access to asylum rights. This experience offers a firsthand look at how Global Brigades collaborates with and supports the refugee community in Athens. Volunteers also contribute to capacity-building workshops, educating communities on various legal concepts to empower them through knowledge. Additionally, they will gain insights into how Global Brigades’ holistic model works to empower communities in a sustainable manner. Between brigades, Global Brigades’ in-country teams continue to work on securing legal outcomes and providing ongoing support to the communities we serve.
