Help 100 women suffering from violence in Nepal

KOSHISH’s Emergency Care and Support Center (ECSC) is dedicated to providing comprehensive support to women who are survivors of violence, abandonment, and mental health challenges. Through the GlobalGiving platform, we have been able to mobilize donations from compassionate individuals and organizations worldwide to support our initiative: Help 100 Women Suffering from Violence in Nepal. This report highlights the progress and outcomes of the activities undertaken during the reporting period.

Objective

To support 100 women survivors of violence with emergency care, mental health services, rehabilitation, and sustainable reintegration into their communities.

Key Activities and Achievements

1. Emergency Shelter and Psychosocial Support

   • Beneficiaries Served: During this period, the ECSC provided emergency shelter to  women who were victims of Gender Based Violence, offering a safe and secure environment away from abusive situations.

   • Psychosocial Counseling: Each beneficiary underwent individual and group counseling sessions which focused on trauma healing, coping mechanisms, and self-empowerment.

2. Medical and Psychiatric Care

   • Screenings and Treatments: All beneficiaries received comprehensive medical check-ups and psychiatric assessments. Some were prescribed ongoing psychiatric care for conditions such as depression, anxiety, and PTSD.

   • Medication Support: Essential psychotropic medications were provided to beneficiaries in need.

3. Home Visits and Follow-Ups

   • To ensure sustainable reintegration, our team conducted follow-up visits to the homes and communities of reintegrated women. These visits aimed to assess their progress, provide guidance, and link them to local support systems.

4. Awareness and Community Engagement

   • Community Workshops: Organized workshops in rural municipalities, engaging local leaders, family members, and community influencers to discuss gender-based violence and mental health stigma.

   • Future Plans

   • 1. Expand our outreach to underserved rural areas to identify and support more women in need.

     2. Enhance our follow-up mechanisms to prevent relapses and ensure long-term stability.

     3. Collaborate with local government and NGOs to establish community-based support systems.

     4. Scale up livelihood programs to empower more women economically.
