Welcome guide HRYO EN | 页面 3

Introduction This short guide is for all those that for different reasons have moved to or want to move to Italy and, more in general, Europe. The “Welcome Guide” wants to be a contribution in which you can find information on fundamental rights, on different forms of international protections, on the system of reception in Italy and some contacts useful to ask for help and assistance in the city of Palermo. Inside the guide we have tried to give space to legal channels of travelling (in Italy stated in the “Decreto flussi” law) and to give a list of rights for those arrived on our coasts in extreme conditions, risking their lives and often being victim of torture. For this reason a part of our job is focused on unaccompanied minors, in order to highlight the protection rights that defend minor migrants, and to give a general view of all kinds of legal protections that could be applied for. Finally, we mapped the landmarks for migrants in Palermo, giving contacts useful not only for legal and medical assistance but also giving advices about the offices working with migrants offering a variety of services. 3
