**ABOUT SNEHA**

SNEHA, a Mumbai-based non-profit with over 450 staff, focuses on improving health and nutrition in

urban slums. Using a life-cycle approach, it addresses critical health and nutrition needs at key stages—

from adolescence to family planning—aiming to enhance outcomes for women and children in

vulnerable communities across Mumbai and the Mumbai Metropolitan Region.

It focuses on enhancing urban health by empowering both care seekers and providers. We work with

informal settlement communities to drive change and partner with public health systems to ensure

sustainable improvements. Our programs include Maternal and Child Health, Empowerment of Health

and Sexuality of Adolescents, Public System Partnership, Prevention of Violence against Women and

Children, SNEHA Shakti, Palliative Care, and Livelihood Generation.

**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. In collaboration with university college London, the program is working on a major cluster

randomized controlled trial (crct) testing the effects of community interventions for primary and

secondary prevention of violence against women and girls. In informal settlements of mumbai, we are

testing the effects of community mobilization through groups and volunteers to prevent violence

against women and girls.
