In the past 48 hours, two families have found refuge in the Beguinage Church.
When a church becomes the only shelter, it means the system has failed.
Since August, families recognized as refugees in other European countries have been excluded from reception in Belgium. They sleep outside illegally, ignored by the authorities.
We refuse to accept this. We demand the immediate reinstatement of shelter for all families with children.
This protection is part of the solidarity campaign “No children on the street. Period.”, led jointly by House of Compassion, BelRefugees, and Vluchtelingenwerk Vlaanderen.
