The National Conference on Health and Domestic Violence is now the Futures Without Violence Conference on Health! It’s a new name, but our commitment remains the same: to bring together health professionals, advocates, researchers, survivors, and policymakers to highlight cutting edge research and practice, and systems change to address domestic and sexual violence, with a focus on violence prevention, promoting health equity, and building community resilience.

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.
