‘Supporting Safe Spaces’: a resilience shelter for women and girls who are affected by drug use and Tanzania’s war on drugs has been opened in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, on 15 June 2019.

The launch of the shelter by a local community group, SALVAGE, was made possible through the financial support of the Civil Society Resilience Fund Against Organized Crime, a worldwide programme of the Global Initiative Against Transnational Organized Crime.

The Resilience Fund supports civil society actors to build resilience in communities harmed or threatened by organized crime and criminal governance.
