The 2011 Asia Conference of Women’s Shelter will gather experts from different Asian countries to address numerous issues relating to girl survivors of gender-based violence with the aim to share strategies and good practices to end violence against girls. The conference will highlight practices both within and outside of the shelter which can contribute to a successful strategic action plan of empowerment – gender awareness, women’s rights, confidentiality, as well as enhancing competency in terms of working and learning. Within this conference, the topics discussed will tackle the issue of how to turn brilliant ideas into successful strategies, services, processes and new ways of creating partnerships with public/private sectors.

The conference organizer, the Garden of Hope Foundation, has already been providing a safe home to those in need for nearly two decades, and seeks to facilitate a platform for interaction and discussion to other women’s groups in Asia.

• Learn why safe and inclusive cities for women are necessary for the attainment of women’s human rights
  

• Identify relevant partners to work with in order to create safe and inclusive cities for women
• Develop a strategy for collecting information about women’s experiences of safety and inclusion in the city
• Determine relevant actions to take, within your own occupation and life, to improve women’s safety and inclusion
  

How it works:
Over the course of two weeks, registered participants gain access to a series of international articles and video lectures on the topic of creating safer and gender inclusive cities. Participants are also given the
opportunity to use discussion forums to post questions, ideas and comments about course material. Knowledgeable and experienced discussion facilitators, who work in various fields and countries on the topic of safe and gender inclusive cities, will respond to questions and comments as they are presented. Participants will receive certification of completion at the end of the online seminar.*
