26 — 27 November 2026 · Radisson Blu, Nairobi, Kenya
1st African Conference on
Women's Shelters
A continental gathering on partnerships, policy and sustainable investment — strengthening survivor-centred shelter systems across Africa, convened during the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence.
Background & Rationale
Women's shelters provide life-saving protection and a critical pathway from crisis to recovery — yet across Africa they operate with limited financing, uneven policy recognition and few opportunities for cross-country learning. Convened by the Centre for Domestic Training and Development (CDTD) through the National Shelters Network (NSN), in partnership with the Centre for Rights Education and Awareness (CREAW) and in collaboration with the State Department for Gender and Affirmative Action (SDGAAA), this historic gathering brings African shelter providers, governments and survivor leaders together to build enabling policy, shared standards and sustainable investment for shelter systems continent-wide.
