4th World Conference of Women's Shelters
"Shelters at the Forefront of Ending Violence against Women"

LOCATION: TAIWAN - Organized by the Global Network of Women's Shelters and hosted by the Garden of Hope Foundation, the 4th World Conference of Women's Shelters (4WCWS) will be held in Kaohsiung on November 5-8, 2019.  4WCWS will bring together 1,500 people from 120 countries to network and share ideas on how to strengthen women shelters and end violence against women. The theme of 4WCWS is "Impact * Solidarity" to highlight the leading role that shelters play in developing systematic approaches to combatting gender-based violence.
The goals of 4WCWS are to strengthen the role of women shelters in systematic approaches to combating violence against women; reinforce, mobilize, and increase the effectiveness and influence of the global and regional shelter networks as leaders in the effort to end violence against women; kick-start global projects and initiatives to support women shelters and combat violence; and raise awareness among governments, international organisations, the corporate sector, and the general public about the problems of violence against women to stimulate actions to support shelters.
The 4WCWS program reflects the key issues facing both the shelter community and the broader movement to end violence against women today.
Theme 1: Art and Advocacy
>From the Vagina Monologues to the #MeToo campaign, the arts and culture industry is a key player in changing public opinion on violence against women. This session will discuss using the arts to stop gender-based violence.
Theme 2: New Methods in Shelter Management and Social Work
This session will challenge participants to think out of the box about protecting survivors by looking at innovative systems, integration of resources, and services that meet the diverse needs of survivors.
Theme 3: Policy and Legislation
This session will critically examine international standards and goals, explore innovative strategies to improve accountability and coordination, and identify laws and policies that help protect victims and end abuse.
Theme 4: Equality and Economic Empowerment
This session will look at ways to increase the productive earning power of women and develop inclusive communities, reduce poverty and violence, and empower women and girls.
Theme 5: Emerging Issues
This session will be an open space for discussion on new and emerging issues such as data collection, privacy, LGBTQ shelter management, institutional abuse, and more.
