New name – Same heart
Eleven years ago, an idea was born — to stand up for asylum-seeking children whose voices, we could see, were not being heard.
What began with one child has today grown into an organization of around 50 dedicated people – primarily volunteers – who provide legal, psychological, and emotional support to children and young people in the asylum system.
The words we most often hear from the children and young people we help are: “It’s not fair.”
And we agree. We believe that all children in Denmark should be able to thrive, develop, and have their rights respected – now and in the future.
With these words, we now begin a new chapter in our story.
Over the years, our work has evolved and expanded. Today, we not only provide support in asylum cases, but also help many families within the immigration and asylum system with family law and municipal child welfare cases.
That’s why we’ve been working for some time to find a new name that reflects all the types of cases and people we assist – and that shows who we are today:
FairFremtid – For Alle Børn
Even though our name is changing, we’re still the same people with the same commitment.
We look forward to continuing our work – together with you – for a fair future for all children ❤️
Asylum children must have as good well-being and development as other children in Denmark, as well as a fair legal process
What do we offer?
Vores Asylbørn is an association whose purpose is to ensure the well-being and development of asylum children by offering legal advice, contact persons/family treatment and looking after the interests of asylum children politically.
The association’s unique approach has resulted in 95% of our children and families at risk of deportation receiving residence permits and ensuring the children’s well-being and development via family treatment and contact person arrangements, so that no further measures or placements have been necessary.
The association also collaborates with the country’s municipalities, immigration lawyers and other actors.
Do you want to volunteer at Vores Asylbørn?*
As a volunteer, you commit to:
- 2 hours of work per week at times that suit you for a minimum of 6 months at a time
- Participation in the monthly volunteer meetings in Copenhagen (typically on Thursdays 6-7.30pm)
We offer:
- A mini-course in “Immigration Act, asylum process and trends”
- Ongoing sparring and supervision
* Regardless of the task you carry out in the association, you must be able to agree with the association’s guidelines and values and consent to us obtaining child certificates on an ongoing basis.
Are you an asylum seeker and need help?
We can help you in several ways:
- Get help with legal advice at the same time as we support your child/children in their well-being
- Get help and support to promote better conditions and legislation in the area of asylum
I came to Denmark in 2015 because my two children were staying in Denmark. After my visa expired, I had to leave and go back but I decided to stay because I never wanted to leave my children at a young age.
In 2016 I went and applied for asylum and I was rejected so I had to be deported back to my country. Even though I had given the authorities all the documents needed they didn’t recognize the fact that I have children in Denmark who needs their mother.
I know there are hundreds of people especially women who are going through the same situation like mine.
Never lose hope!
