New Empowerment Project for Third-Country Nationals in Saxony
Access to legal residence for refugees in Saxony comes with high
requirements, such as securing a livelihood or proving
language skills, which often presents these people with major challenges. Many
affected individuals have insufficient information about their rights and few resources to
manage necessary steps such as obtaining a passport.
The project “My Rights. My Perspectives.” offers a statewide service consisting of information, support, and empowerment for refugees without secure residence rights in Saxony.
The project supports and accompanies those affected in matters related to migration, social, and administrative law with the main concern of strengthening integration processes and participation. In particular, we want to reach people who are read as female and people with special protection needs with our services.
Prevention, Information, and Intervention
Throughout Saxony, we offer information and group events as well as in-depth open discussion and counseling formats for individuals at the counseling locations in Dresden, Leipzig, and Chemnitz, as well as mobile services in the Leipzig district.

As part of the project “My Rights. My Perspectives.” we offer an open discussion opportunity every Wednesday for women with migration/refugee backgrounds.
Welcome are all people who feel and describe themselves as women. Women can use the open discussion opportunity primarily to talk about residence law perspectives and to get orientation.
During opening hours, an Arabic language mediator is on site. We ask that other language needs be communicated in advance.
