Jesuit Refugee Service Belgium (JRS Belgium)

Jesuit Refugee Service is a Christian organisation that accompanies, serves and defends the rights of refugees and forced migrants in more than 50 countries. Across the world, the organisation works for and with refugees on projects aimed at education, inclusion and reconciliation. In the Belgian context, JRS focuses on visiting persons in detention centres and supporting them in understanding and asserting their rights, on promoting community-based alternatives to detention and on sensitising the general public around migration and inclusion issues.

NANSEN

NANSEN is an independent center of expertise in refugee law based in Brussels. Persons in a vulnerable position are core to our mandate in particular: victims of torture, stateless persons and migrants in administrative detention. Our mission is to develop and make available to all persons in need of international protection quality legal aid so that their fundamental rights become more effective. To achieve this objective, we combine technical legal expertise with an interdisciplinary approach to asylum. NANSEN was set up in 2017 by a group of lawyers and academics experienced in the field of refugee, human rights and migration law.
