About uS

There is a story about strength and community that comes from those who have faced hardship and loss. This story belongs to Ukrainian Voices – RC, a refugee-led organization that is entirely composed of individuals who have fled Ukraine, seeking safety and a new beginning.

Ukrainian Voices – RC was created on July 22, 2022 under the support of the UNHCR Belgium – Luxembourg . Since 2019, the UNHCR has worked to bring together different refugee communities — LGBTQ+ groups, women’s organizations, and refugees from Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Eritrea, Guinea, Mali, and Ukraine. This group aims to help these communities face the challenges of settling into life in Belgium, making sure they feel supported and integrated.

At the core of Ukrainian Voices lies a commitment to care and solidarity. What started as an informal gathering of people in need has grown into an organized community, helping its members overcome challenges as they try to integrate into Belgian society.

Most members of Ukrainian Voices are women with dependents, which makes the group different from other refugee or migrant communities in Belgium.Ukrainian Voices is a story about finding hope and strength through each other. It shows how, even in difficult times, a community can come together and help each other create a better future.
