Centro Astalli
Centro Astalli is the Italian branch of the Jesuit Refugee Service-JRS. It started its activities in 1981 in Rome and has offices in several Italian cities (Rome, Bologna, Catania, Grumo Nevano – NA, Palermo, Trento, Vicenza, Padua). It is engaged in activities and services that aim to accompany, serve and defend the rights of those who arrive in Italy fleeing war, violence and torture. Centro Astalli is also committed to making the public aware of who refugees are, their history and the reasons that brought them here, by organising awareness-raising campaigns.
Accompanying refugees and sharing their experiences is at the heart of all Centro Astalli’s services, from first reception (for those who have recently arrived in Italy) to awareness-raising activities and advocacy efforts, which aim to change unjust policies at local, national or international level.
In the city of Rome, Centro Astalli manages the reception centre ‘La casa di Giorgia‘ that welcomes women, alone or with children, holders of international protection in agreement with the Italian project SAI (Sistema di Accoglienza e Integrazione) (Address: Via Laurentina 447 – 00142 Roma)
For each woman, an attempt is made to build a specific integration pathway, taking into account her psycho-physical conditions and her migration pathway.
