Association for Women's Sanctuary and Development (AWSAD) is a women's shelter in Ethiopia.[1][2][3] It is the first of its kind to be established in the country and began operations in 2003.[4][5][6] AWSAD currently has various branches in several cities including Addis Ababa and Adama.[7]
History
AWSAD was founded by Maria Yusuf, who is currently also its director.[8] The NGO also maintains a newsletter which Billene Seyoum served as editor.[9]
The UN Women in collaboration with the Danish and Irish governments assisted AWSAD in launching the biggest women's shelter in the nation in 2015.[10]
In 2019, United Nations Development Programme supported AWSAD in opening sanctuaries for victims of sexual violence in war-torn northern Ethiopia.[11]
