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.

“We need LGBTIQ+ associations in the reception centres. I didn’t have that.”
Claudia
“Trans people are vulnerable in a system that does not have a gender perspective adequate to their needs.”
Filomena
Casa+ users are extremely vulnerable and fragile people; understanding their needs means listening to them and giving them support, as well as a dignity often denied to them because of repeated episodes of discrimination and isolation.
