Our goals

By providing free legal assistance, information and counselling, as well as by lobbying and organizing awareness raising campaigns, Praxis aims to:

• Enable the displaced to access documents needed for exercising their basic human rights and reaching durable solutions, i.e. integration or return;
• Enable the members of minorities (Roma, Ashkali and Egyptian) to access documents in order to exercise their basic human rights and thus reduce the number of legally invisible persons in Serbia;
• Enable the returnees upon readmission agreements from Western Europe to access documents needed for exercising their basic human rights and integration in Serbia;
• Empower the most marginalized populations in Serbia to access and protect their socio-economic and status rights and combat discrimination in accessing those rights;
  
• Protect the rights of the displaced in the country of origin related to: property repossession and reconstruction, compensation for occupied property, housing care, pension, etc;
• Protect rights of the displaced in the country of exile related to: IDP and refugee status, health care and social welfare, employment, pension, education, etc;
• Protect the rights of victims of sexual and gender based violence (SGBV) among the displaced;
• Contribute to removing systemic obstacles, which impede the target group to exercise their basic human rights;
• Contribute to improving the quality of life, reducing poverty and level of social vulnerability of the target group;
• Sensitise and educate state officers, Law students and general public about the problems the target group encounters.

A word on the term “praxis”

The name praxis comes from an ancient Greek word which means action. It also means to translate an idea into action: "a hard theory to put into practice".
