In India, one out of every three married women have ever experienced physical or sexual violence from their husbands. Violence against women (VAW) is a major public health problem, and has significant and long -lasting impacts on women’s physical and mental health. Health systems have an important role to play in a multi- sector response to VAW. As a result, training of healthcare providers to provide compassionate and effective care to survivors of violence is essential. This video seeks to introduce healthcare providers to evidence based recommendations on how to provide first-line support to survivors of violence though the LIVES approach (Listen, Inquire, Validate, Enhance safety and Support).

Despite an established role of social determinants in health care, neither medical education nor public health services in India have taken cognizance of it. Non recognition of these determinants have led to several biases in dispensing of treatment and care to patients. Thus, medical education provides an important opportunity to transform the healthcare provision. CEHAT (Centre for Enquiry into Health and Allied Theme) with the support of United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) in collaboration with Directorate of Medical Education and Research (DMER) and Maharashtra University of Health Sciences (MUHS) undertook a project on integrating gender in medical education in MBBS curriculum in Maharashtra. This video describes the experiences of medical colleges in implementing this project.

In 2013, WHO released the first global guidelines for healthcare providers to respond to VAW. However, there is little evidence on how to implement these guidelines in low and middle income countries. Building on the several decades of work by the Centre for Health and Enquiry into Allied Themes [CEHAT], on strengthening health response to VAW, an implementation study was undertaken in collaboration with WHO. The video describes the implementation of guidelines by using systems approach in two tertiary hospitals of Maharashtra.

The feature story describes the implementation of the WHO guidelines on responding to intimate partner violence and sexual violence through training of health workers – doctors, nurses and social workers in three departments – obstetrics and gynecology, general medicine and emergency medicine/casualty. The hospitals are teaching hospitals and run by the government and hence, the implementation research study is aiming to institutionalize the trainings of health workers not just in in-service, but also pre-service. Results of this study are forthcoming.
Please find the link to the feature story on the WHO website and also the link to the video which features the doctors and nurses. In India, this is one of the few efforts that has tried to integrate VAW into existing health services, rather than establish stand-alone services, with a view to keeping sustainability and feasibility in mind and also strengthen not just the health work force capacity, but also the health system response.

Along with Rege is Dr Nikhil Datar who says that the protocol has helped to change the mindset of doctors; they now see the medical examination and collection of forensic evidence as an important step in the survivor's journey towards justice.

About the film…
At the Crossroads follows the story of Meera, a woman admitted into a public hospital for attempted suicide. A concerned nurse, who believes Meera to be a survivor of domestic violence, introduces her to Dilaasa, a hospital based crisis center, that works on mitigating abuse by identifying and helping women who come to the hospital to treat various health issues that result from domestic violence. With the counselor’s help, Meera learns to handle her situation and make a fresh start. At the Crossroads focuses on the important role that health care professionals can play in stemming domestic violence. Since hospitals are often the first refuge for abused women, the steps that a health care professional takes can have a marked impact on situations involving familial or spousal abuse. The film also emphasizes the counselor’s role in helping transform the lives of survivors of domestic violence.
