The 2017 Asian conference of Women’s Shelters has been held from August 28 – 30 in Paipei, Taiwan. The theme of the conference was: "Continental shifts in shelter management. Cross-regional dialogue on transforming women’s shelters".
Held in the context of a discussion on shelter transformation in Taiwan and other countries in Asia, experts from Europe and North America were invited. The event has brought together shelter heads, domestic violence professionals and community partners from over a dozen Asian countries and many more organizations. They shared innovative models of shelter management and combatting domestic violence – including the Council of Europe’s Istanbul Convention and the Oranje Huis (Orange House) model from the Netherlands.
