Access to Information
Not knowing your rights can change the outcome of your case. For many refugees and migrants, that’s the reality. Legal information is often too complex, unavailable in their language, or simply hard to find. Uncertainty about procedures, deadlines, or available protections can have serious consequences for people already navigating an overwhelming system.
At AsyLex, we believe that access to reliable legal information should not depend on language, location, or financial means. We work to make legal information accessible, understandable, and available to everyone who needs it.
Multiple languages, multiple channels, one goal
We meet people where they are, through tools and channels designed to make legal information as accessible as possible:
- Website & FAQ resources : Clear and practical information on asylum and migration procedures, legal rights, deadlines, family reunification, Dublin procedures, detention, and residence-related questions – written for people going through the process, not just for lawyers.
- Rights in Exile (RiE) Platform : Through the Rights in Exile platform, we connect displaced persons with accessible legal information and country-specific resources, while strengthening collaboration between refugee-led initiatives, NGOs, and legal support organisations worldwide.
- Digital legal support : You can reach our teams through online forms, email, and social media to receive legal guidance and orientation, no office visit needed.
- Multilingual access : Our information and support are available in multiple languages, made possible through a broad network of translators and volunteers with lived migration experience.
Are you looking for legal support?
Information you can trust
Legal information that’s outdated or wrong can do more harm than no information at all. That’s why accuracy is non-negotiable for us.
All content is developed and reviewed by legal professionals and trained caseworkers with expertise in Swiss asylum and migration law. Our teams continuously monitor legal developments, policy changes, and new jurisprudence so that what we publish stays current and practical.
Through close collaboration between legal experts, volunteers, and affected communities, we aim to provide information that is both legally sound and genuinely useful in practice.
Who we support
Our information services are for anyone who needs them:
- Refugees, asylum seekers, and migrants looking for accessible legal information and orientation
- Families and individuals in vulnerable situations navigating complex procedures
- Civil society organisations, Legal professionals, NGOs, and support networks that use our resources in their daily work.
Because the right information, at the right moment, can change everything.
