Context

The project is in its second year of the three-year programme “OneSpot Educational -Nepal”, commenced by our organization and Apeiron – Nepal in 2019. It offers courses of psycho-social rehabilitation and reintegration into the community, aimed at women survivors of gender violence and children victims of witnessing violence. The course of psycho-social rehabilitation follows specific phases after reporting to the authorities. 1) taking responsibility with the aim of personal empowerment; 2) social reintegration – fundamental to reduce the rate of relapse into violent situations. Our project operates to take responsibility for and accompany women to the end of reaching independence and freedom of choice on the economic and personal level. The women taken on have suffered violence by their spouses and in-laws, have had miscarriages as a result of family abuse, others have attempted suicide along with their children, others are even minors.

Objectives

Develop the conditions to be able to educate and instruct children, victims of witnessing violence and their mothers, survivors of gender violence.
Support women who are victims of gender violence, in the upbringing of their children, through nutritional and health interventions.
Train educators and professionals committed to assisting families who are victims of violence
