The Farsi-speaking community in Mons
Mons and Hainaut receive Iranian and Afghan asylum seekers through Fedasil's national reception network. Iranian nationals - fleeing political repression, religious persecution or civil liberties violations - and Afghan nationals - fleeing Taliban rule and security threats - have both been consistently present among asylum applications processed in the Mons area. The CGRS processes their files, and local Fedasil centres and CPAS de Mons provide the immediate social and welfare support during the procedure.
Dari, the variety of Persian spoken by a large majority of Afghans, is mutually intelligible with Iranian Farsi. Our Farsi interpreters are trained to serve both Iranian and Afghan clients effectively, adapting to vocabulary and pronunciation differences between the two varieties. Professional Farsi interpreting at CHU Ambroise Paré, CPAS meetings, CGRS hearings and Mons courts ensures that Farsi-speaking asylum seekers and residents can access services on an equal basis.
