EXERCISE
<strong>Police</strong> Sensitivity to Survivors
Estimated time : 25 mins
Material required : Case studies
Methodology : Role play
Expected outcome : At the end of the exercise the participants will understand the importance
of sensitive and empathetic behaviour
Activity
Refer to the five set of cases presented in Module Two (<strong>Police</strong> Action) in pages 37-38 and have participants
read them.
Select/request volunteers from the group to come <strong>for</strong>ward and conduct a role play wherein two situations
are enacted – keeping in mind the need <strong>for</strong> empathetic police behaviour and gender-sensitive attitudinal
response.
Note to the facilitator
The facilitator must ensure that the participants understand the discrepancies in terms of police
handling in the mentioned cases be<strong>for</strong>e attempting to per<strong>for</strong>m the role play. Having enlisted
the discrepancies and the gaps of police response, the participants may enact a simple and step
wise handling of any two cases in a sensitive and empathetic manner. The rationale of the
exercise is to rein<strong>for</strong>ce the understanding of the police personnel about the survivor’s need to
be respected and the survivor’s perception of police as a ‘support system’ as opposed to the
police as an ‘abuser’.
Often interactions and learning during a training program may overwhelm the participants. Post training
participants may be over enthusiastic to implement all the learning or they may feel it is too humongous
a task to be accomplished. It is, there<strong>for</strong>e very important to have them identify achievable action points
and define a time frame <strong>for</strong> the same. Don’t leave it open-ended. You may do the following closure
