Technical Assistance on Women’s Shelters for Combating Domestic Violence

The purpose of the project is to protect women against violence in 24 different cities through establishing and/or providing support services. Services such as counselling centres and stations as pre-shelter and post-shelter services for women subjected to violence that are complementary parts of the protection mechanism should be established to support women subject to violence. The project will be important for the development of expansive and local services as a follow-up of the 2006 'Shelters for women subject to violence' project (PANFA2006). Within the scope of this project, which should be considered as the 2nd phase, various management structures of 8 shelters built under the 1st phase will be developed, and the local bodies will be supported technically to raise their capacity to establish and manage these services.
