Discrimination, racism and transgressive behavior hotline

Because Belgian Red Cross-Flanders wants to help everyone in a neutral, humane way, discrimination, racism or transgressive behavior cannot be condoned. However, have you yourself been a victim of discrimination, racism or transgressive behavior by one of our volunteers or staff? Or did you witness other people being treated this way? Report it to us so we can continue to help as we should!

This hotline aims to be an accessible point of contact for anyone who feels discriminated against or abused, or witnesses such behavior by someone from the Red Cross. The hotline wants to address reports in a targeted way.

This hotline is specifically for reports of discrimination, racism and transgressive behavior by anyone in the Red Cross. For other reports, please contact the e-mail address of the relevant service. You can find these on the right.

Are you a volunteer? If so, please refer to myrodekruis.be.
