Support the Memorial to Humanity and help us to create a dignified place for those lost seeking safety and a better future in Europe.
In the Greek island of Lesvos, there is a field nestled amongst olive groves where hundreds of graves serve as resting place to refugees who have lost their lives at sea and on the island since 2015.
As a humanitarian organisation, we believe that everyone has the right to a dignified burial. For this reason, in January 2022 we made a proposal to the municipality of Mytilene for the restoration of the refugee burial ground

Campaign aims
As a humanitarian organisation, we believe that everyone has the right to a dignified burial. We believe that this right should be respected in every context including when people have migrated escaping violence, war,natural disasters, and starvation. For this reason, in January 2022 we made a proposal to the municipality of Mytilene for the restoration of the refugee burial ground with the following aims:
To create a respectful and dignified resting place, non- intrusive to locals, where refugees and asylum seekers can meet that most sacred of human needs that is the mourning of our loved ones.
To pay homage to the thousands upon thousands of people whose lives, dreams, and hopes ended abruptly while trying to get to safety in Europe.
To protect the refugees’ basic human right to be treated with respect and dignity which is stipulated by European legislation and which lies at the core of international human rights law.
