State of Housing Rights
 

Criminalisation

Belgium decriminalized vagabondage and begging in 1993. Activities associated with homelessness, such as sleeping rough, aggressive begging or other “nuisances” are currently the object of penalizing legislation, yet these laws may not deprive individuals of their personal liberty.
