**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.
