Sheltering Women from Harm Achievements & Challenges 2016

NULThis report is part of continuing efforts to further improve Shelter Home services. It presents the results of a triangulated research comprehensive study of all 35 Dar-ul-Amans (DuAs) in Punjab that engaged residents, staff and other service providers, associated committees, departments, some former residents and community women unconnected to the Shelter Homes. Drawing on previous studies and international best practices, but using the government’s Guidelines and minimum standards as the yardstick, the study gauged responsiveness to the needs of women seeking Shelter Homes in terms of physical facilities, legal and socio-medical care, as well as security of person. On this basis, it forwards a series of recommendations to further improve standards and give effect to the guidelines.
