International Refugee Assistance Project (IRAP)

The International Refugee Assistance Project (IRAP) provides free legal help to refugees and displaced people. IRAP’s litigation department brings systemic litigation to help refugees and others in need of a safe home. We believe that all people should have the right to a safe passage and the opportunity to thrive. RAP builds non-traditional, non-partisan coalitions to advocate for the rights of refugees and displaced persons. And they also play a major role in including refugees in U.S. immigration legislation, advocating for procedural protections for refugees, implementing trauma-sensitive policies for LGBTI individuals and refugees who are survivors of torture, and extending protections for Iraqi and Afghan wartime allies of the U.S. Government.
