Health Center

Description

Casa Kuà is a trans BIPOC focused health center, specifically aiming to help those impacted by racism within the German health care system. The name comes from the Spanish word 'casa' meaning 'home', and the Chinese word 'kuà' meaning 'trans.' The center was founded by queer activists, has a "holistic health" focus, and runs almost entirely on volunteer work and crowd funding. The space consists of three treatment rooms, a feminist queer library, and also is open for seminars and workshops.
