The Finnish Refugee Council is a humanitarian, non-governmental organisation that protects the rights of people affected by displacement.[1][2]

History

The Finnish Refugee Council was founded in 1965 as a small organization that raised funds for the UN Refugee Agency. The council has evolved over time, becoming an NGO and embarking on a range of projects.[3][4]

Core activities

The council has four themes aimed at the rights of refugees, strengthening resilience, equal social participation and adaptation of the entire community.
