Training community based volunteers on domestic violence

Since October 2007, we have collaborated with the Rangoonwala foundation to train women in the community on issues related to gender-based violence.

Training community health workers

Training with respect to replication of our crisis centre – Dilaasa, is also being carried out with community health volunteers (CHVs) working with Vachan, Nasik, on issues related to general health problems of women, reproductive health and concepts of gender, sex and patriarchy, reproductive health rights, domestic violence and health and the role of CHVs.

Training health care providers

We train health care providers on the issue of domestic violence. We have trained several trainee nurses of Dhule nursing school. Our aim is to regularise the training and integrate it with the nursing curriculum.

Training sessions for health care providers are regularly conducted at five peripheral hospitals in Mumbai, namely, Kurla Bhabha, Bandra Bhabha, Rajawadi, Cooper and M.T. Agarwal Hospitals.
