Working with violence survivor (case work)
HUMSAFAR has a multi-pronged approach to address gender-based violence and provides legal, medical, negotiation for violence-free life with partner/family, counselling, rescue, shelter, and rehabilitation support. During the last 20 years, HUMSAFAR has intervened in more than 11,000 cases. We also work in the Burns and Plastic Surgery ward of King George’s Medical University (KGMU) Lucknow, providing counselling, legal & medical support to burn survivors. HUMSAFAR strongly believes that a survivors’ fight to access justice requires wider community support at various stages – to break the conspiracy of silence around violence, access services, wage a long legal battle, rehabilitate herself and her children emotionally and financially and reintegrate in society as a aware citizen aware of her rights and responsibilities.
