Gender Based Violence Prevention and Response Project in Nepal, Phase II ensures an effective survivor-centered response to gender-based violence, by ensuring the availability and quality of coordinated multi-sectoral responses and service provision by all relevant service providers. The 2020 16 Days of Activism against GBV—Fund, Respond, Prevent, Collect—amplified the call for global action to bridge funding gaps, ensure essential services for survivors of violence during the COVID-19 crisis, focus on prevention, and collection of data that can improve life-saving services for women and girls. Funded by UNFPA, a strong consortium led by Ipas Nepal to implement the strategies and approaches together with the Centre for Mental Health and Counseling-Nepal, Forum for Women, Law and Development, Saathi, ABC Nepal, Sancharika Samuha, Inter Party Women’s Alliance along with Local Implementing Partners and Collaborating Partners to acknowledge urgent action to address GBV particularly against women and girls.
Saathi partners with its local implementation partners, Safehouses from Sudur Paschim province- Achham, Bajura, Baitadi, Bajhang and Dhangadi along with Saathi’s own shelter home in Kanchanpur. Along with the local implementing partners, Saathi collaborates with the Local Government from each of these districts for making the government stakeholders accountable towards responding to GBV.
Kanchanpur shelter home is a referral point for all the implementing partners where the survivors are referred for economic and life skill training, long term support, education and more holistic services.
