Women, Peace & Security in Aceh

Aceh has suffered over 30 years of civil conflict. Tens of thousands of lives have been lost and human rights abuse is widespread across the country. In 2004, the Indian Ocean tsunami devastated the country and ended the insurgency. Hundreds of thousands of lives were lost, while at least half a million became homeless.

The proceeds from SNOW 2009 will go towards supporting the Women, Peace & Security in Aceh Programme. This programme will reach thousands of women at sub-district and village levels through public education, legislation reforms, building & maintenance of women crisis centers in all 23 districts and development of training activities around the centers. In addition special one-stop crisis centers will be built at sub-district hospitals in 6 pilot sites.
