Women's Resource Centre - Ending violence against women | Andhra Pradesh India
Violence against women is a widespread problem. Countless women are subjected to physical, emotional, and psychological violence at home and in their communities. Despite legal protections and awareness campaigns, many women continue to suffer in silence due to a lack of support and resources.
The Dhaathree Foundation is a registered non-profit women's organization that has been active in the Chittoor district of Andhra Pradesh for several years. It founded the Women's Resource Centre (WRC – Ending Violence Against Women) and is committed to serving neglected and stigmatized populations. Its focus is on healthcare, psychosocial counseling, legal assistance, education, as well as continuing professional development and the establishment of women's self-help groups. The main goal of the project is the rehabilitation of affected women, their economic empowerment, and the creation of a safe and inclusive environment in which they can rebuild their lives.
The project implementation to date included the following key activities
• Dedicated staff provided immediate assistance to women who were exposed to violence.
• Trained personnel responded to emergency calls and provided on-site support in collaboration with local law enforcement and community partners.
• A safe emergency shelter has been set up, providing basic amenities such as food, clothing, and medical care.
• Professional counselors offered individual and group therapy sessions to help women cope with trauma.
• Legal aid services were provided to assist women in taking legal action against perpetrators and protecting their rights.
• Training programs were conducted in tailoring, handicrafts, computer skills and entrepreneurship.
• In cooperation with local companies, successful placements were carried out, enabling the beneficiaries to achieve financial independence.
• Awareness programs and workshops were organized to educate communities about gender-based violence and women's rights.
• Collaboration with local authorities, NGOs, and advocacy groups helped strengthen the support system for survivors.
