Welcome to ENWS

The Ethiopia Network of Women Shelters (ENWS) is a woman-led coalition working to eliminate gender-based violence across Ethiopia. Since 2016, we have united 41 member organizations to provide life-saving services for survivors, including safe shelter, healthcare, counseling, legal aid, and economic empowerment.

Beyond crisis response, ENWS advocates for policy reform, challenges harmful norms, and builds strong partnerships to create a future where women and girls live free from violence and empowered to thrive.
