For the duration of our S/S25 season, we are raising funds for Berlin grassroots organisation The Dolls: a self organised, DIY, and participative space open to everyone who identifies as trans femmes*.
The Dolls is run by a team of 7 people with the support of 20 volunteers. They work to provide a safer space for all transfem communities in the city, as well as to provide direct support for the most vulnerable members: for example, those experiencing homelessness, incarcerceration, or refugee status. For 3 years, they have operated on community support and donations from the participants, as well as public funds from Berlin’s anti-discrimation budget, which is about to be reduced drastically through the government’s new austerity measures. These cuts are set to disproportionately impact several of the capital’s most vulnerable communities, and abolish inclusion and diversity programmes in culture.
The house is based on sharing knowledge, skills, and material resources, learning and unlearning from each other, fighting isolation and being with one another: standing together in solidarity.
Activities range from hanging out to gossip, sharing experiences and tea, info and solidarity, workshops, discussions and direct solidarity practice. Food, a clothing swap and community IPL machine are also available. The Doll house is not open for cops or military, it is anti borders, anti racist and anti capitalist.
The Dolls is hosted by Casa Kuà every Sunday from 16:00-20:00. The first Sunday is BIPoC Dolls only.

UNAIDS is leading the global effort to end AIDS as a public health threat by 2030 as part of the Sustainable Development Goals. UNAIDS provides the strategic direction, advocacy, coordination and technical support needed to catalyse and connect leadership from governments, the private sector and communities to deliver life-saving HIV services. Without UNAIDS, there would be no strategic vision for the AIDS response.
