ForewordThere is a real need among asylum seekers in Sweden for information in the formof a handbook that covers both aspects of the Swedish asylum process, namely theprocessing of asylum claims and the asylum reception. The information whichexists today is primarily the product of the government – i.e. the Swedish MigrationBoard. And though a number of NGOs also provide information andsupport to asylum seekers, it is restricted to the limited scope of their respectivefields of activity.The National Thematic Network Asylum & Integration (NTN Asylum), fundedby the European Social Fund/Equal, has previously published a report onasylum seekers’ social and economic rights – En värdig levnadsstandard (A dignifiedstandard of living). The report gives an account of asylum seekers’ rights underinternational law, European Union law and national law. Examples of relevantnational law are taken from the United Kingdom and Finland.The Handbook for Asylum Seekers is written by Ginbot Abraha, former chairmanof AEASS – Association for Eritrean Asylum Seekers in Sweden (since2005 EDHR – Eritreans for Democracy and Human Rights). Ginbot Abrahahas also previously produced a report for the NTN Asylum, entitled Av egen kraft(On One’s Own). It is a highly interesting account of the growth and activities ofAEASS, a unique and successful target group driven organisation providing supportand counselling service by and for asylum seekers.The experiences of AEASS in delivering social support and counselling toasylum seekers have proven instrumental to being able to put together this handbook.Ginbot Abraha himself has personal experience as an asylum seeker inSweden. The handbook responds to what asylum seekers themselves have beenasking for, namely information on their rights and obligations as asylum seekersin Sweden. The handbook is the latest link in a logical chain of publicationsproduced by NTN Asylum on asylum seekers social and economic rights and onasylum seekers’ empowerment and self-organisation.Christian RåberghNational Co-ordinatorNTN Asylum & IntegrationA Handbook for Asylum Seekers in Sweden | 5
