Explanation:
writers writing in sheltered areas: boroughs, towns, cities etc
's Across the EU and at the global level, there are far more shelter programmes
for writers-at-risk'

In the Swedish Immigration Authority (Migrationsverket) document this is translated as 'guest writers' . However, I do not think this is specific enough as any visiting writer can be a guest writer.

Example sentence(s):
  • Som det andra största mottagningslandet i världen för fristadsförfattare har Migrationsverket beviljat uppehållstillstånd till över 20 fristadsförfattare som förföljts eller hotats i sitt hemland på grund av sitt arbete.
