**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 a convergence approach that works with government and public systems to reinforce their role in ensuring
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.***
