Umbrella Refugee Committee

The Umbrella Refugee Committee is a coalition of 9 refugee-run committees in Brussels, which represent communities from Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, Burundi, Eritrea, Somalia and Ukraine, as well as the Rainbow and Women’s Refugee Committees.

As an organisation, the Umbrella RC works with policymakers to make it easier for refugees to find their way in Belgium, and provides different services aimed at kickstarting that process.
