The center consists of the following areas: a welcome area, guarded 24h / 24h, within which the minors seeking help have the opportunity to speak with specialized staff, telling their own experiences and needs. Once the severity of the individual case is assessed, the project staff directed the little girl/girl to the Center for Listening and the care and care services as an external beneficiary or to the hospitality and residency in the facility; a “day” area, within which – besides the traditional common spaces in a home – there are environments to be used for recreational, educational and training activities; a “night” area, within which street little girls are accommodated.
