Program Coordinator Pvwc

**JOB DESCRIPTION: PROGRAM COORDINATOR - GENDER RESOURCE CENTRE (GRC)**
**PREVENTION OF VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN AND CHILDREN - RESEARCH PARTNERSHIPS & SCALING**

**ABOUT SNEHA**

A secular, Mumbai-based non-profit organisation, SNEHA addresses preventive and promotive healthcare with a

special focus on women and children. SNEHA works on four large public health areas: maternal and child

health, adolescent health and sexuality, public systems partnership and prevention of violence against women

and children.

SNEHA works towards health equity with communities on behaviour change interventions on health by changing

knowledge, attitudes and practices to access public health services as well as working with public health

systems to provide quality services.

SNEHA recognises that, in order to improve urban health standards, their initiatives must target both care

seekers and care providers. The work is primarily with communities residing in informal urban settlements to

empower women and communities to be catalysts of change in their own right and collaborate with existing

public health systems and healthcare providers to create sustainable improvements in urban health.

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.

With an experience of working for the last two decades on primary, secondary and tertiary interventions on

violence against women and children and backed by theory-driven research, SNEHA is embarking on initiating a

virtual Gender Resource Centre (GRC). The insights gained in varied aspects of the program, continuous

research to tailor our interventions according to the needs of the community and survivors, and longstanding

data management have led to development of resource materials such as the program model, training manuals,

modules and protocols for different topics in community mobilisation, counselling, work with stakeholders and

have built evidence through published papers. Recently the program has launched the GARiMA package of care

on mental health for survivors of domestic violence and modern slavery which will be followed by trainings

offered to use the package by orgnisations working in this area. The scope of the Gender Resource Centre will

develop to consolidate knowledge, offer training packages, certified courses and to enable replication, scaling

of part or the whole model on prevention of violence against women and children to contextualise the work on

gender-based violence in India and outside. SNEHA’s vision is to develop the Gender Resource Centre in the

next three years.
