 When women are educated, given genuine choice around child rearing and employment, treated with respect, paid fairly and protected from violence the society benefits.


The Ethiopian Women’s Lawyers Association (EWLA) provides lifesaving services for Ethiopian women and girls who are victims of physical and sexual abuse.

EWLA HOTLINE: The EWLA hotline provides a lifeline of help and support for women suffering from sexual abuse and domestic violence. For thousands of women in rural areas, the hotline is their only source of information and counselling on how to best deal with their abusive situation.

EWLA SAFE HOUSE: This refuge provides shelter for women and girls fleeing from violence and sexual abuse. Although the shelter is offered as a temporary solution, most women have no other options and remain in the safe house indefinitely. With only 12 beds available, EWLA is desperately looking to open more shelters, and resources to provide long-term assistance and accommodation for these vulnerable women. 

EWLA LEGAL AID: Each year EWLA provides legal advice and counselling sessions to 13,000 women—most of whom are victims of violence. These women are Ethiopia’s poorest of the poor, and without EWLA’s help would have no advocate or recourse to the justice system. 
 
EWLA HAS NO GOVERNMENT FUNDING AND RELIES ON THE GENEROUS SUPPORT OF PEOPLE LIKE YOU TO PROVIDE THESE LIFE SAVING SERVICES.
