INTIMATE
PARTNER SEXUAL VIOLENCE- phase two of the awareness and prevention campaign.
The Association for Population and Development, in collaboration with the
Ministry of Gender Equality, Family Welfare and Child Protection began Phase
I of its campaign on IPSV and other forms of domestic violence from the
dawn of 2017 to the dusk of 2020, reaching thousands of people from all walks
of life in the region of Wooton, Barkly, Bambous, Abercombrie and several other
strategic places on the island.
Funded by National Social Inclusion Foundation and assisted by the Ministry of Gender
Equality and Family Welfare, the Association is now in the process of
implementing Phase 11 of the campaign in:
1. Chebel,
Beau Bassin
2.
Karo Kalyptus, Briqueterie
3. Coteau
Raffin, Tamarin
4.
Batimarrais, Riviere des
Anguilles
5.
Argy, La Source, Flacq
6.
Camp Lilas, Triolet
The Association is also benefitting from the input of the Sugar industry Labour
Welfare Fund in terms of its facilities and human resources.
This project
will adopt a Three-Pronged Strategic Methodological Approach to address the
problem of IPSV in Mauritius.
- Community Awareness among members of the community, the stakeholders and the decision making teams.
- Media Support in a bid to maximize media usage and coverage, including digital media link for greater advocacy and information sharing
- Social Marketing where community-friendly actors, often called “bystanders”, will be trained to uphold the objects of the campaign.
Phase 11 of the IPSV campaign was kicked off on 16.01.2020
at La Gaulette.
The
workshop was animated by Dr. Sangeet Joosery, APD and Ravi Rawa, Coordinator. Some
snapshots of the workshop at La Gaulette:
The proposed Half-Day
Workshops for awareness on Gender Based Sexual Violence will be held at
