The Greek Council for Refugees (GCR) is a Non-Governmental organization, recognized as special charity, founded in 1989 with the aim to protect the rights of refugees in Greece. Since then, it has been offering free legal and social aid to refugees and all those in need of international protection through a specialized team of lawyers, social workers, interpreters, educators and volunteers. Our mission is to protect the rights of refugees and to support them to rebuild their lives. We envision a life with dignity for all people who seek international protection in Greece, in a safe environment, in which they can flourish and build a bright future for themselves and their families.
