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.
