Reception, solidarity, training, integration and support. That's all.

The Randi Association was founded in 1992 in the Livorno area on the initiative of a group of women who felt the need to welcome and concretely help other women to get out of situations of social marginality, loneliness, violence and gender discrimination. In the beginning she started her business with immigrants in the Livorno area, women, especially in those years, disoriented and unaware of their rights and the possibility of being protected.

Over the years this work, carried out in synergy with local authorities, has allowed the emergence, reception and social-working integration of women victims of gender violence, trafficking and enslavement, forced prostitution, serious exploitation working, forced begging.
The association runs an Antiviolence Center and a Shelter House.
