This report draws on statistical information obtained from the competent administrative agencies, information attained through the monthly contact meetings between the asylum authorities and civil society, analysis of legislation, practices and case law. Vluchtelingenwerk Vlaanderen also gathers crucial information from its own activities. Vluchtelingenwerk has a legal helpdesk through which it receives numerous questions on the rights and position of asylum seekers, refugees and persons benefitting from subsidiary protection. It is also present at the entrance of the asylum authorities, where it provides newly arrived asylum seekers with crucial information about the asylum procedure and their rights in Belgium. This allows for the swift monitoring of any changes in asylum seekers’ profiles and the registration practice. The information concerning the detention of migrants in Belgium is updated by the Move Coalition, a formal coalition of NGOs accredited to visit detention centres.
