While not specifically focused on young people, Nansen specialises in providing legal advice and assistance on asylum rights and employment, ensuring that all refugees understand and assert their rights in Belgium. Through detailed guidance on Belgian labour laws, pathways to obtaining work permits and asylum support, Nansen empowers refugees to navigate complex bureaucratic systems. Their approach also includes interdisciplinary expertise, combining legal, psychological, and linguistic resources to address the diverse challenges that refugees face. Moreover, the organisation has dedicated support to victims of torture, expertise in the field of statelessness and conducts visits to detention centres to support the needs of those seeking international protection.
