Judit
“LGBTIQ+ people have specific needs that are invisible because of the cissexism present in the reception system.”
Adil
“The procedure can take 2, 3 or even 5 years sometimes. During this time we live in stress and fear.”
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.
Arsène
“We need LGBTIQ+ associations in the reception centres. I didn’t have that.”
