Program Officer

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, Health and Sexuality of
Adolescent, Public System Partnership, Prevention of Violence against Women and Children, SNEHA Shakti,
Palliative Care, and Livelihood Generation.

**ABOUT 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,
mobilize communities around ‘zero tolerance for violence’, and respond to the needs and rights of excluded and
neglected groups. Using a socio-ecologic model as a framework for action at different levels to prevent violence,
the program works on primary prevention, secondary intervention and tertiary prevention.

**ABOUT THE PROJECT**

The Community Stewardship model aims to create a community that actively addresses and supports the
prevention of gender-based violence through robust community ownership. It is implemented through a multi
- tiered approach: primary interventions, secondary interventions and tertiary interventions. This model, structured
around community groups (known as gats), sanginis, mitras (men volunteers), and other community stakeholders,
facilitates collective action to prevent violence and support survivors. The program will work on exploring different
ways to deepen the Community Stewardship model by working on de-addiction interventions in the community
by raising visibility of the issue in the community, educating women’s and men’s group members, sanginis and
in Dharavi, Govandi, Wadala and Kurla on de-addiction interventions in coordination with the team.
