**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**
- THE PROGRAM - PREVENTION ON VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN AND CHILDREN _

SNEHA’s Program on Prevention of Violence against Women and Children 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 prioritises enhanced co-ordination of the state

response to crimes against women through convergence approach that works with government and

public systems to reinforce their role in assuring basic social, civil and economic security. Primary

preventive interventions are carried out through community outreach programs and campaigns.

Secondary interventions for survivors of violence are provided through a comprehensive service-oriented

system.
