THE YASAMAK CENTER
A legal and community center
for refugee women and families

Turkey continues to host the largest number of refugees in the world - over four million - 3.6 million of them from Syria alone.

Our partner association " Yaşamak Sosyal Alan ve Dayanışma Derneği " in Izmir opened the gates of their community center in September 2020. It is an open, supportive, safe and participatory place with a strong focus on the needs and empowerment of female refugees in Izmir. Wothouq eV supports the implementation of various offers in close partnership. We offer both legal and psychosocial support and promote the implementation of basic human rights.
