This research report has been published as part of the EU Horizon 2020 VULNER research project ( www. vulner.eu ). The VULNER research project’s objective is to reach a more profound understanding of the ex- periences of vulnerabilities of migrants applying for asylum and other humanitarian protection statuses, and how they could best be addressed. It therefore makes use of a twofold analysis, which confronts the study of existing legal and bureaucratic norms and practices that seek to assess and address vulnerabili- ties among migrants seeking protection, with migrants’ own experiences. Creating a framework to allow protection seekers to highlight their reality and experiences in their own words, and include the insights of associations and lawyers specialised in the asylum and migration fields, can shed greater light on how and to what extent an asylum procedure can accommodate those experiences. To that end, the research fieldwork underlying this report on the asylum procedure in Belgium involved interviews with a) asylum seekers at seven reception centres and b) associations and lawyers specialised in asylum and immigration law (see the methodology section of this report). Those interviewed includ- ed 39 asylum seekers, five lawyers (three Dutch-speaking, two French-speaking), and 15 members of associations active in the field of asylum and migration who had participated in the study. In addition, seven others from a specific day centre (PSA centre in Brussels) who had not applied for asylum were also met. This report on the fieldwork presents the following key findings: • At the micro level , the report highlights the intersectionality of different types of vulnerabil- ities based on the personal accounts of protection seekers, in that their experiences related more generally to how certain situations impacted each of them during the asylum process and not simply to their distinct personalities . Conceiving vulnerability through an intersection- al lens allowed us to better grasp how a combination of ...
