On request of the Global Network of Women’s Shelters (GNWS), the Dutch Foundation of Women’s Shelters and its partners organise the 3rd World Conference of Women’s Shelters from 3-6 November 2015 in The Hague – the Netherlands.
Previous conferences were successful but continuous action is crucial: violence against women and children still occurs on a large scale and is perhaps the largest crime against humanity of all times. The objectives and programme therefore are very ambitious and thought-provoking.
In addition, we are building a broad, new alliance in the run-up to the conference to end violence against women and children with the help of ambassadors from politics, companies, NGOs and others.
