Ecuador

Our work in Ecuador

Ecuador currently hosts refugees from Colombia and Venezuela, fleeing their country’s humanitarian crisis.

JRS Ecuador supports the personal, economic, social, and political security of refugees. Through legal advocacy, JRS Ecuador raises awareness about the basic rights of forced migrants. They also work to encourage the inclusion and integration of refugees in host communities through participatory community programmes.
