An important element of the Eritrean Women’s Community Center is its physical space. The center, located in South Tel Aviv, is in the heart of the neighbourhood where many Eritrean asylum seekers live. The location is integral to providing access to those aiming to utilize the services provided by the center. The community center has become a symbol for the women who associate it with a sense of safety, free from many of the sources of intimidation that exist for them in public as well as in the private domain. The center is a place where they can feel comfortable, accepted and in control of their lives. The freedom from authoritative figures combined with the services provided and activites mandated allow for the center to be recognized by the communty as a place where women can come at any time for any need.
