fluktretningen

Fluktretningen, also known as the Norwegian Refugee Council, is an international humanitarian organization that works to protect and assist refugees, forcibly displaced communities, and stateless people. Founded in 1956, the organization is headquartered in Norway and operates in over 100 countries worldwide. Fluktretningen's mission is to promote and protect the rights of refugees and displaced people, and to help them rebuild their lives and communities.

The organization provides a range of services, including emergency relief, protection, and advocacy. Fluktretningen works to ensure that refugees have access to basic needs such as food, water, shelter, and healthcare. The organization also provides legal assistance and advocacy to help refugees navigate complex legal systems and protect their rights.

Fluktretningen is funded through a combination of government grants, private donations, and individual contributions. The organization is committed to maintaining its independence and impartiality, and it does not accept funding from governments or political parties. This ensures that the organization can provide assistance based on need, rather than political considerations.

Fluktretningen has a strong focus on community-based approaches, working closely with local communities and organizations to ensure that assistance is sustainable and meets the specific needs of refugees and displaced people. The organization also places a high value on the protection of human rights and the promotion of justice and equality.

In addition to its humanitarian work, Fluktretningen also engages in advocacy and policy work to raise awareness of the refugee crisis and promote solutions to the root causes of displacement. The organization works to influence governments, international organizations, and other stakeholders to ensure that refugees and displaced people are protected and have access to the rights and assistance they need.
