We Are a European Movement
ELIL’s activities are made possible by the remarkable spirit of European collaboration and solidarity which sees full-time Greek lawyers working alongside volunteer European lawyers. Our work has been possible thanks to the support of over 350 people from across the continent who have volunteered with us, sharing their experience, skills and knowledge.
People assisted by ELIL
Since June 2016, we have provided legal assistance to over 20,000 refugees in Greece and Poland. For a fair and effective asylum procedure, it is crucial that asylum seekers have access to a lawyer. Of the people we assisted, 70.8% were granted asylum, compared to a national average of 30%.
