Our story
The Altre Sponde Anti-Discrimination Centre was born from the meeting and synergy between Arcigay Firenze, Nosotras Onlus and Cooperativa Il Girasole.
We are a safe, welcoming and free space offering support and listening to LGBTQIA+ people who experience discrimination or violence related to sexual orientation and gender identity.
We believe in the power of listening, in the strength of solidarity and in the dignity of every person. No one should ever feel alone in the face of hatred and discrimination.
