Project in progress

With its field studies on refugees, Gökkuşağı Association aims to cater for refugees in Adıyaman, ensuring their access to rights and services and improving their welfare and socioeconomic lives. The Association’s mission entails increasing the social cohesion and participation of disabled refugees and their refugee caregivers, mobilizing relevant institutions, making more specific efforts to raise awareness in the local and refugee community about the disabled individuals and ensure equality.
