Created in 2004, the Education Without Borders Network (RESF) fights mainly by the side of undocumented families who live in France and have children going to school, for them to obtain residence permits and legal status. The network has become particularly active since June 2006, when the Interior Minister, then Nicolas Sarkozy, passed a bill to give legal status to certain undocumented families residing in France.
