Juan
I left my home country because of discrimination and harassment by the police. Casa+ is the second community experience in Italy for me; before that, I was in another shelter, in which I have been mistreated by other beneficiaries.
Jean-Loïc
“My partner was lynched by the crowd. Neither the police nor the justice system protected me. I had to flee my country to stay alive.”
Judit
“LGBTIQ+ people have specific needs that are invisible because of the cissexism present in the reception system.”
Jade
“Being visible can serve to liberate me and tell what I want to tell a society that believes there is no transphobia.”
