About SWATI:

The Society for Women’s Action and Training Initiatives (SWATI) works to secure the rights of women and other marginalized citizens in Gujarat ( www.swati.org.in). Ending VAW is a primary goal of SWATI whose approach is based on the premise that VAW has several dimensions and requires multi- pronged prevention. SWATI achieves its goals by building women’s leadership, engaging men and boys, community outreach, setting up alternative dispute resolution systems, enabling access to counselling, legal aid and survivor support services, and working with the public health system and with GPs to enhance their responsiveness to VAW. Through these means it services and reaches out to a population of over two hundred thousand (200 GPs, and three municipalities) in two districts. In the last four years, SWATI has gained in-depth experience working with GPs on VAW, Mahila Gram Sabha and safety audits. It carries out research studies and develops resources and campaign materials that advance women’s rights and prevent VAW.
