Strengthening gender based violence referral and response pathways

USAID’s MOMENTUM Safe Surgery in Family Planning and Obstetrics project, implemented by EngenderHealth, received funding through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) to implement activities through a Gender Integrated Response to Emerging COVID 19 Priorities in India. This work addressed the critical need for strengthening gender-based violence (GBV) response and prevention mechanisms at district, community, and facility levels. The activities were implemented in Assam, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh and Odisha accross 25 districts in collaboration with the state National Health Mission (NHM) and Department of Women and Child Development (WCD), along with implementation and technical support from MAMTAHealth Institute for Mother and Child (MAMTA-HIMC) and Solidarity and Action Against The HIV Infection in India (SAATHII), from September 2021 to August 2023. The goal of this work was to build resilience and capacity of individuals, communities, and the health system to mitigate COVID-exacerbated GBV.
