Shelters for Women Survivors of Violence: Availability and Accessibility in the Arab Region
A new study examining the importance, as well as the availability and accessibility, of shelters in the Arab region
This study, produced by ESCWA, in partnership with the United Nations Population Fund – Regional Office for Arab States (UNFPA-ROAS), Women Against Violence Europe (WAVE) and ABAAD Resource Centre for Gender Equality (ABAAD), provides a nuanced understanding of the relationship between overall national legal frameworks and the daily operation of shelters. It is based on a mixed methods approach with the primary component being a desk review, complemented by two questionnaires sent to civil society organizations and to National Women’s Machineries.
