The 4th World Conference of Women’s Shelters will address the issue of sexual assaults against women which have taken place at the recent Hong Kong protests. The conference is set to take place in Kaohsiung from November 5-8.
The main organizer of the event is the Garden of Hope Foundation. It says it’s invited a representative from Hong Kong to report on the current situation there and to show a video testimony of victims. The foundation says it wants to amass support from the different corners of the world in the fight against sexual assault.
In addition, there will also be a press conference involving female victims in Asia who are part of the global #MeToo movement against sexual assault.
An estimated 1,400 people from 100 countries are set to attend the conference.
