Womens group
A womens group branched off from the collective and squatted on Burgemeester Röellstraat in 2017. The women, mainly from Eritrea, Ethiopia en Somalia, lived there for 18 months before being evicted. They then protested outside the Stopera council buildings, demanding a 24 hour shelter. For them, the official shelter on offer, which they would have to vacate at 9am, was no good. They stated that it would leave them in unsafe conditions.

After that, they squatted on Eerste van Swindenstraat, then in September 2018, the womens group squatted a new building, Leidsegracht 5, just a few hundred metres away from the official residence of the new mayor,[[Femke Halsema. In October, it was announced that the building would be evicted.

2019
February Bijlmerplein

In a separate action, We Are Here squatted a building on Uilenstede 475 in Amstelveen (south of Amsterdam).

The new Amsterdam city council, controlled by a coalition of [[GroenLinks, [[Democrats 66|D66, [[Labour Party (Netherlands)|PvDA and [[Socialist Party (Netherlands)|SP, decided to go against the will of Parliament and to set up a 24 hour shelter for failed asylum seekers. However, We Are Here as a group announced it would not make use of the shelter, since it would only exist for a maximum time of eighteen months and afterwards migrants had to return to their country of origin. Since We Are Here was set up for people unable to return to their motherland, a spokesman said the plan offered no real solution.

In March 2019, the council announced seven prospective sites for its plan to set up shelters for undocumented migrants. It was considering up to 23 sites, with around 30 beds at each. The cities of Rotterdam, Utrecht, Groningen and Eindhoven were all also looking for sites.
