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. The Program prioritizes 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.
