Associació in via

What Associació in via does

Associació in via is a Barcelona-based non-profit social entity founded in 1953 under the ACISJF international federation network, with 97 employees and a predominantly female (76%) workforce. It provides direct human services rather than technology products: its core portfolio comprises the Servei d'Acompanyament Integral a Dones Supervivents de Violències (SAID), the Servei d'Atenció a Famílies i Infància (SAFI), the Servei d'Inserció i Formació (SIF), and a consultancy/training area. Specialized projects extend the model into child sexual abuse detection (Projecte Hipatia), care for migrant women and children (Projecte Zhour), gender violence and human trafficking training (Projecte Lilith), child-to-parent violence (Projecte OLIVIA), and neighborhood-level family support (Projecte SOAF Endavant). 24/7 emergency services operate through Infància Responde and Casa de la Jove without interruption.

The organization serves beneficiaries free of charge, including women and children survivors of gender-based violence, families in vulnerability, migrant women, and youth in or exiting the child welfare system. Services are delivered at the Carrer de l'Amistat 15 headquarters in the Poblenou neighborhood and through remote contact (phone, email, web) and public-institution partnerships. Funding is drawn from four streams: individual donations (with Spanish and Catalan fiscal deductions), corporate partnerships structured as Organitzacions Compromeses (≥€6,000/year) and Organitzacions Col·laboradores (€1,500–€6,000/year), member (socis) fees, and public grants from EU funds (Fondo de Asilo, Fondo Social Europeo), Spanish ministries (Igualdad, Inclusión, Trabajo), Diputació de Barcelona, Generalitat de Catalunya, and Obra Social la Caixa. Marketing is community-led, relying on earned media (RTVE, La Vanguardia, El Periódico, RAC1), annual awareness campaigns (8M, 25N, #InfanciaIntocable, #ObreLaPorta, #70anysinvia), social media, newsletter, and local solidarity events.
