Asian Network of Women's Shelters

The Asian Network of Women’s Shelters (ANWS) was initiated in February 2012 at the 2nd World Conference of Women’s Shelters in Washington DC, when over 50 representatives of Asian women’s shelters gathered at a regional roundtable meeting to discuss networking, share proven innovations, and learn from each other.

The ANWS was formally galvanized into a working organization at the 1st Asian Conference of Women’s Shelters in Taipei in September 2012, when 30 representatives from 14 countries in the region met during sessions of the conference to draft the vision, values, purpose, and objectives of the ANWS and select its first steering committee. The Garden of Hope Foundation is the secretariat of the ANWS. For more information please visit https://shelterasia.org/
