Collectif Des Femmes

What Collectif Des Femmes does

Collectif des Femmes is a Belgian non-profit association (ASBL) founded in 1979 and headquartered at Rue des Sports 19 in Louvain-la-Neuve, with additional operational sites in Louvain-la-Neuve and Brussels. It supports women — particularly migrant and refugee women — through seven program domains: Violences Pluri'elles (gender-based violence support), CISP Centre d'Insertion Socioprofessionnelle (professional integration), Initiative locale d'intégration, Education permanente, Tremplin pour la vie, CEC Expression et Créativité, and Nyampinga VIH/SIDA. Service offerings span French-language training (FLE), digital literacy (Informatique et langues, Digistart), vocational training (aide-soignant.e, aide-familial.e), citizenship integration courses, HIV rapid testing (TROD), counseling, and creative-expression workshops.

The organization operates with no proprietary technology platform; its digital footprint is limited to a WordPress-based website, social-media channels (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, TikTok), and Stripe-based online donation processing. Its business model is that of a publicly funded ASBL: all beneficiary services are free, and operating income is assembled from regional and community-government subsidies (Wallonia, Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles, Forem), EU programme grants (EMW-Platform, EMW-Participation, Y-Turnout EU, IPV-Migrants), corporate and lottery funders (ViiV Healthcare, Loterie Nationale), and individual donations (tax-deductible from €40). The stated headcount band is 11-50 employees; revenue is not publicly disclosed. Co-delivery is performed with institutional partners including UCLouvain (Clinique juridique Rosa Parks), Plateforme de prévention Sida, BELRefugees, CIRÉ, Red Latinas, and ESCODE.
