RO:

M.*, a migrant labourer, food delivery worker, was recently the victim of serious physical and psychological violence. He was deprived of his liberty and repeatedly assaulted for several hours. As a result of this abuse, his health has deteriorated and he now needs support to effectively access justice.

A lawyer is needed to file a criminal complaint and take the case to court. The cost of this is €700: €600 for the initial application and €100 for each instalment.

Disclaimer:

In order to get to Europe, a migrant worker often has to borrow thousands of euros, sometimes guaranteeing it with their own house. The visa process is long, humiliating and full of uncertainty. Once they arrive, many don't know their rights, are dependent on employers who may or may not do their paperwork, live in overcrowded conditions, work unpaid hours and often don't have the courage or the ability to complain about abuses.

Instead of real support, they face red tape, delays, lack of translations, incomplete information and impossible deadlines. Many end up staying illegally not through no fault of their own, but because the system does not offer real solutions.

They need support to move forward and hold their abusers to account.

Disclaimer:

Migrant workers often arrive in Europe after borrowing thousands of euros, sometimes with their family homes as collateral. The visa process is long, confusing, and often degrading. Once here, many find themselves without proper documents, at the mercy of employers who may or may not register them legally.

They live in overcrowded conditions, work long unpaid hours, and don't know where to turn when abuse occurs. They're trapped in a system full of delays, missing information, untranslated documents, and impossible deadlines. Many fall into irregular status not by choice, but as collateral damage of a system that fails to protect them.

This person needs support to hold his aggressors accountable.
