The CICP provides the most critical services needed by a woman as a result of violence and abuse. These cover emotional support and feminist counselling, referrals for health and medical needs, legal assistance, shelter, and other support services.
Through telephone, face-to-face, or group counselling, survivors are assisted through affirmation of their worth and in their struggle to deal with emotions such as fear, shame, self-denial, guilt, and self-blame. Information on women’s situation is presented to enable them to make informed choices thus enabling them to regain control over their lives.
