Who we are

FOUNDER & EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Federica believes in a society in which FLINTA* individuals have full power and control of their lives to become anything they want.

In 2019, she listened to her inner voice urging her to use her skills, experience and heart and stand for equality and social justice. She began her new journey by founding the Berlin Team of Days for Girls and starting to focus her efforts on increasing Menstrual Awareness. This led her to spend 4 months in Nepal where she worked on the completion of the first DfG Campaign and offered her professionalism to a local organization, Apeiron.

Once back in Berlin, it was time to start working on the creation of Hildashaus e.V. and strongly committing to gender equality and social justice.

TRAINER, CONSULTANT & GESTALT THERAPIST

Rawaa is a trainer, consultant, and Gestalt therapist with extensive experience in Human Development and NLP, having worked in training and consultancy for seven years in Damascus and Algeria. Since moving to Berlin in 2015, she has embarked on a profound personal and professional journey that led her to complete four years of Gestalt psychotherapy training, while also serving as a training assistant for Syrian groups at the same institute.

For four years, Rawaa worked as a cultural mediator in refugee centers providing psychosocial support, contributed to family support through Navitas e.V., and collaborated with Eulalia Eigensinn e.V. to empower women who had experienced domestic violence.

Today, she provides individual psychotherapy sessions, supervises the “Circle of Peace” group supporting women with migrant backgrounds, and facilitates workshops titled “Creating Change Through Dialogue” at the InKontakt Gestalt Institute Berlin.

Rawaa strongly believes in love, humanity, tolerance, equality, and social justice. She is committed to empowering women to free and develop themselves, build lives of dignity, and raise future generations with stronger values and greater responsibility — especially women with experiences of violence, and migrants from war-torn countries carrying trauma. Love and support are her guiding mission, aiming for a true win–win life.
