World Conference of Women's Shelters 2025

The world’s largest Conference by and for women’s shelters, and those working to end gender-based violence, is heading to the southern hemisphere for the first time!

5WCWS will give a massive boost to the common goal: to end all violence against women globally.

The primary objective of the 5WCWS is to provide a platform for learning and sharing experiences. The goal of this exchange is to contribute to a worldwide systemic approach to ending violence against women and their children, in order to increase the safety, independence, and strength of women worldwide.
