Global Network of Women's Shelters

We are the lead international alliance of organizations serving survivors of gender-based violence.

A global voice for survivors and shelters, we work to strengthen and unite the women's shelter movement to end violence against women and their children. The vision of the Global Network of Women's Shelters is an equal world where women and their children live free from violence.

📢 Join us for a conversation with a global panel on challenges and developments in pathways to justice for survivors of gender-based violence (GBV).

How can survivors of GBV uphold their right to safety and self-determination, and what role do shelters and advocates play in this? Each survivor’s experience is unique, so one-size-fits-all systems often overlook the complex barriers they face. This event examines obstacles women across the globe encounter when seeking justice, and the systemic challenges that impede justice.

Join the GNWS parallel event at CSW70 on March 9th to explore this important topic.
🎤 From Safety to Justice: Survivors’ Pathways to Justice in Women’s Shelter Settings
🗓️ Date: March 9th 2026
⏰ Time: 12:30-2:00 PM EST
📍 Location: In-person at the Salvation Army Auditorium in New York City
