European Parliament shelters 100 homeless women

A European Parliament building in Brussels is housing 100 homeless women - many of them victims of domestic abuse - who have been severely affected by Belgium’s coronavirus lockdown.

The Helmut Kohl building, an office block in the city centre, opened its doors to them.

Offices have been turned into bedrooms, each for one or two women. They also get meals and medical care there.
