History edit

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]
