A recent report by the Centre for Enquiry into Health and Allied Themes (CEHAT) and the Society for Health Alternatives (SAHAJ) titled Assessing Progress in Interventions Addressing Domestic Violence Against Women – Report of a National Consultation, marks a significant step towards developing indicators on what works to redress domestic violence.
The initiative is a collaborative effort of ten women's organisations, across the country, engaging with the health sector and responding to women survivors of violence in multiple ways. The report focuses on indicators under three broad categories used to redress domestic violence — survivor-centred approaches, community-based approaches and public systems engagement.
The significance of this initiative lies in that it seeks to consolidate and systematise learnings from 'home-grown strategies' used to address domestic violence and encourage grassroots reporting.
