TRAINING COORDINATOR - PREVENTION OF VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN AND CHILDREN
Research, Partnership and Scaling – Project Nityam
ABOUT SNEHA
A secular, Mumbai-based non-profit organisation, SNEHA believes that investing in women's health is essential to building viable urban communities. SNEHA is 450+ person strong, innovative and progressive organization that works on health and nutrition in urban slum pockets with women and their families. SNEHA follows the life-cycle approach to health and nutrition, by intervening at critical junctures (adolescence, preconception, conception, pregnancy, postnatal, infancy and toddlerhood, family planning) to ensure improved health and nutritional outcomes for women and children living in some of Mumbai’s most vulnerable and deprived slums and in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) as well.
SNEHA recognises that, in order to improve urban health standards, our initiatives must target both care seekers and care providers. We work with communities residing in informal settlements to empower women and communities to be catalysts of change in their own right and collaborate with existing public health systems and health care providers to create sustainable improvements in urban health. We have currently 11 programs running across SNEHA which are Maternal and Newborn Health (MNH), Child Health and Nutrition (CHN) – Aahar, Empowerment, Health and Sexuality of Adolescents (EHSAS), Prevention of Violence against Women and Children (PVWC) (e) SNEHA Centre, SNEHA Shakti, Healthy Cities Project (HCP), Samagra, Palliative Care, Livelihood Generation, Central Operations, Research and IM.
ABOUT THE PROGRAM
SNEHA’s Program on Prevention of Violence against Women and Children (PVWC) aims to develop high-impact strategies for primary prevention, ensure survivors’ access to protection and justice, empower women to claim their rights, mobilise communities around ‘zero tolerance for violence’, and respond to the needs and rights of excluded and neglected groups. The Program prioritizes enhanced co-ordination of the state response to crimes against women through a convergence approach that works with government and public systems to reinforce their roles in assuring basic social, civil and economic security.
The project will work in the informal settlements of Wadala and Kurla in Mumbai. We will continue to frame our work in terms of primary, secondary and tertiary prevention, but the pandemic has also shown that we need to expand the purview and competencies of our work to include more men, while at the same time strengthening and sustaining our work with women. The program will implement three arms of community interventions: response-based intervention, couple-based intervention and volunteer-led intervention and action to address violence against women and girls in these communities. These interventions will focus on addressing and preventing violence against women and girls adopting three critical approaches. The response-based approach will focus on collectivization and group action, the couple-based intervention will explore educating couples on positive prevention strategies to prevent intimate-partner violence and the volunteer-led intervention will centre around volunteers leading intervention and taking action along with group members to ensure a coordinated response to women and girls survivors of violence. The project will follow the design of group education, organization of campaigns and events in the community and provide counselling, crisis intervention and extended services (legal and mental health counselling) to women and girls survivors of violence being referred to the counselling centres.
