On Monday, October 11, 2021, RDI was honored to be formally inducted as an APRRN member.
Established in November 2008, the Asia Pacific Refugee Rights Network (APRRN) is a network of over 200 civil society organizations and individuals covering 25 countries in the Asia Pacific region and beyond.1 APRRN members are diverse, comprising service providers, human rights advocacy groups, research institutions, faith-based organizations, lawyers and law firms providing pro-bono legal aid, refugee community-based organizations (CBOs), and refugees themselves.
APRRN aims to advance the rights of refugees and other people in need of protection in the Asia Pacific region. APRRN envisions a region in which the rights of refugees and other people in need of protection are fulfilled and where they have equal and adequate access to assistance and protection, and to timely durable solutions. We envision a region in which States (including those outside the region), civil society, UNHCR, refugee community groups, and other actors collaborate effectively towards a common purpose of protection and rights with respect for their differentiated roles and responsibilities.
