Background

Founded in May 2004 in Kabala, Koinadugu District Women’s Network (KDWN) is a coalition of women groups from diverse walks of life. We are established across all ten chiefdoms of Koinadugu District, working for peace, security, and the empowerment of vulnerable women.

Koinadugu District faces challenges with discriminating laws and customs. Women are disproportionately affected by sexual and gender-based violence. We formed KDWN to create spaces that enhance safety, dignity, confidence, and self-esteem.
