Sexual Assault Centre
If you're the victim of sexual assault and it occurred less than a week ago (and if possible, within 72 hours), you can go straight to the Sexual Assault Centre to immediately receive the necessary medical, forensic and psychological care. If the assault happened more than a week ago, you can still call or mail to make an appointment. If you wish, you can also file a complaint with the police in the centre, the officers are specifically trained.
Call Alice
"Call Alice" is an initiative across Brussels that safely and discreetly transports victims to the Sexual Assault Centre (SAC) at UMC Sint-Pieter. This service is a collaboration between Brussels police zones and Taxis Verts. This service is 24/7, free and anonymous.
Call (+32)2 349 44 22 and ask for "Alice". A specially trained driver picks you up and takes you directly to the SAC at UMC Sint-Pieter (Hoogstraat, Brussels).There also is a pick-up point near the emergency department at UZ Brussels.
