DEVELOPING CAPACITIES OF WOMEN VICTIM-SURVIVORS OF VIOLENCE:
Organizing Survivors as Advocates for Women’s Human Rights

Through the support of the Global Fund for Women, this project aims to develop capacities of survivors of gender-based violence and to organize them as advocates for the elimination of violence against women and children in Philippine society.

Specifically, the project will conduct activities that will help them understand the social context of violence against women, know their human rights, how to assert them, and how they can organize themselves as advocates.

Women’s and Children’s Crisis Care and Protection Unit at East Avenue Medical Center (WCCCPU-EAMC)

Initially called Project Haven (Hospital Assisted Crisis Intervention for Women Survivors of Violent Environments), the WCCCPU-EAMC was a result of WCC’s effort to institutionalize gender sensitive services within the health care system. It pioneered the setting up of a hospital-based crisis center in partnership with the East Avenue Medical Center which has given way to the replication of similar crisis center units in different government hospitals all over the country.

National Network of Family Violence Prevention Programs (NNFVPP)

WCC is the convener of this partnership of 48 women’s organizations serving urban, rural, and indigenous communities within Metro Manila and in different sites of Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. Its activities include center- and community-based prevention and intervention strategies addressing violence against women, family violence, gender-fair education programs, peer advocacy, programs for men and feminist andragogy.

Toward a Life Free From Violence:
Sharing WCC’s Feminist Strategies in Running Temporary Shelters for Women and Children Victims-Survivors of Violence

This is a three-year project that supports the Temporary Shelter Program’s efforts to strengthen WCC’s programs and services. This is accomplished through consultations with other organizations providing services for women and children victims-survivors of violence against women and family violence.

WCC will capacitate partner organizations in the National Network of Family Violence Prevention Programs (NNFVPP) in managing temporary shelters and delivering feminist crisis intervention services.

Moreover, the project aims to document and consolidate WCC’s shelter experience to be shared with other organizations and service providers.
