Membership

At Simi we have long been committed to supporting the development of civil society and strengthening the coalition of non-governmental organizations and other entities in order to effectively advocate for the rights of socially excluded groups, especially migrants.

We actively engage in cooperation with other organizations in Czechia and internationally, believing that uniting the voice of the non-profit sector is crucial for the effective defense of migrants’ rights and achieving common goals. We use our memberships in various networks, platforms and governmental advisory bodies to inform about our activities, exchange information, and share positions on current migration issues. At the international level, we collaborate with several European and transnational human rights networks and are closely involved in projects with other foreign organizations, thus supporting the creation of partnerships and the sharing of experiences on a global scale.
