 Can the COC provide legal aid to asylum seekers?

Unfortunately, the COC does not assist individual asylum seekers in their asylum applications. We try to influence policy makers to make the asylum policy better for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) asylum seekers, but we do not have asylum lawyers who can represent you.

 

For legal assistance, you can contact the Dutch Council for Refugees:

Website: https://www.vluchtelingenwerk.nl/english

Email: info@vluchtelingenwerk.nl

Phone: +31 20 346 72 00 (from outside of the Netherlands) or 020 346 72 00 (from within the Netherlands).

 

Please note that neither the COC nor the Council for Refugees can advise you on how to escape from your country. You will have to arrange your own travel.
