The project will provide emergency mental health and psychosocial support to 100s of Nepalese women and girls with psychological issues subjected to violence and subsequently abandoned in the streets. They will receive counselling, tele-counselling therapeutic services and legal support to the women and girls. We'll help them heal to experience recovery and reunite back to their family and community to lead an independent and quality life.
In Nepal, violence against women and girls is common due to social, cultural, religious and gender norms. In Nepal, 48% of women experience violence sometime in their life including sexual assaults and abuse. The violence has led to a vicious cycle of poverty and created serious pre-conditions of poor mental health among women and girls. Through the project, 100s women and girls with mental health problems will experience recovery and autonomy who were previously abandoned, locked and chained.
KOSHISH provides counselling and therapeutic support for women who have experienced violence and developed mental health problems. We also provide them medical, legal and income generation support. They receive clothes, accommodation nutritional diet, medicine, health check-ups, counselling support during their stay for treatment. After their recovery, they are reintegrated back into their own communities. they can reach to counselling one call away to maintain privacy.
The project will support 100s women and girl who experienced violence and developed mental health and psychosocial issues for leading quality life and being included in the community on an equal basis as others. Violence surviving women can get quick access to ventilate their emotions through tele-couselling. This will maintain their confidentiality and allow them to access service at needed time.
