WASI
Wasi – meaning House in Quechua – is a project that aims to offer migrant women a space of listening, confrontation and sharing and help them overcome the difficulties and traumas arising from the migration process.
The service is offered free of charge, both in-person and online, by native-speaking psychologists.
Interested women can contact us from Monday to Friday, 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and 2 p.m. to 5 p.m.
