Amplifying Voices: Advocacy & Strategic Communication for Impact (AVASCI)

The project Amplifying Voices: Advocacy & Strategic Communication for Impact (AVASCI) aims to strengthen ethical research practices and advocacy for vulnerable individuals with irregular status (such as rejected asylum seekers, the erased, and undocumented persons) who have no, or only very limited, access to legal and psychosocial support.

Its objectives are to develop ethical guidelines for researchers for responsible engagement with vulnerable groups, provide appropriate support to selected individuals through case monitoring, and enhance the knowledge of researchers and professionals on ethical practices, referral mechanisms, and the importance of cooperation among different stakeholders when working with vulnerable persons.

Through a carefully designed targeted communication campaign, the AVASCI project raises public awareness of systemic barriers and strengthens the role of advocacy and civil society in protecting human rights.
