As the world unites for the annual 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence, the Women Lawyers Association (WLA) will be launching a Safe House for GBV survivors.

The Safe House has been built with funding from the Nick Webber Trust. The Safe House is fully furnished and located at a secure location. The Clooney Foundation for Justice is funding operational costs of the Safe House.

The Safe House is crucial in supporting survivors of GBV by providing safe and secure shelter to survivors at risk of further harm in their home or communities. The survivors will also be provided with counseling and legal aid services.
