CALLS Network
Refugee agency in
humanitarian action
We create transformative solidarities in Europe with refugee-led organisations in the Global South.
We are a civil society network committed to creating public spaces in Europe for solidarity with refugees in the Global South. CALLS Network aims to shift power to refugees and their organisations in the humanitarian ecosystem. We believe refugees are not mere beneficiaries of assistance; they are frontline responders in humanitarian crises. By promoting their agency and solidarity, we are helping reshape the humanitarian architecture.
How we work
CALLS Network develops connections between volunteers, donors, academics and others concerned in Europe, and refugee-led organisations in the Global South to foster the co-creation of transformative forms of solidarity and promote agency.
​
We help form Local Solidarity Groups (LSGs), develop equitable partnerships with Refugee-Led Organisations (RLOs) engaged in humanitarian responses, and mobilise support, including resources for refugee-led initiatives.
Your support makes everything we do possible – from funding community-based initiatives led by refugees, in particular women, youth and persons with disabilities to supporting refugee agency in humanitarian action; from creating public spaces in European countries to enact solidarity with refugees in the Global South, raising awareness to protect human dignity and giving visibility to this work, to producing a solid evidence basis to scale up the approach.
