Brussels considers recognising sunflower lanyard for invisible disabilities

Official title: Voorstel van resolutie strekkende tot de erkenning van het zonnebloemsymbool als hulpmiddel voor de inclusie van personen met een handicap of een onzichtbare ziekte in het Brussels Hoofdstedelijk Gewest.

Status: Parliament has approved this proposal. (parliament: ‘Adopted in committee’)

In plain language

  • Parliament calls on the Brussels Government to officially recognise the sunflower symbol as a voluntary tool for people with invisible disabilities.
  • Public services, transport operators, and front-line reception staff are encouraged to recognise the symbol and train their staff accordingly.
  • You can voluntarily wear the symbol to quietly signal that you may need extra time or assistance, without receiving administrative benefits or priority access.
