Applicants are requested to mention their selected sub-grantnumber and location clearly in their applications.3.3 Detailed Scope of Work for Cycle Six (A)3.3.1 Objective ThreeViolence against women (and some men) is rampant in Pakistan, as reported by media, observedin society and explored through research. The plethora of laws, religious beliefs, traditions,norms and culture have produced an environment where advantage or justice embedded in onekind of law is often cancelled out by another law or by beliefs, traditions and practices. Deepseated beliefs, misogynistic behavior and social institutions legitimize and therefore perpetuateviolence against women.It is germane to deconstruct the usual approaches to address gender-based violence in theparticular context of Pakistan. This will help to construct and sustain survivor-centered approachcomprising of well-thought out, comprehensive and locally relevant mechanisms for long-termrehabilitation and independence of survivors. Such a response to gender-based violence will needto be cross-cutting and holistic, spreading across initiatives to have long-term impact andeffectiveness.Objective of this grant cycle is to create an enabling environment to raise awareness on GBV,develop and demonstrate a system which leads to the full rehabilitation in society and selffulfillmentof survivors of GBV. GEP‟s vision is to build a Ñseamless service‟ which would be achain of institutions and processes at different levels to help GBV survivors to move easilythrough the components in a sequential manner. GEP does not intend to create parallel structuresand institutions, but instead strengthen the systems and services already in place to link themtogether, increase their outreach, and increase their efficiency and effectiveness. This wouldinclude provide trained personnel at each stage, and coordinated mechanisms to achieve anenabling environment. GEP is, therefore, set to approach gender based violence in a systematicand holistic manner, track GBV survivors and support their needs from identification torehabilitation.6
To this end, GEP will award a series of synergetic and inter-linked sub-grants that will betargeted around the following components necessary for combating gender based violence:identification & reporting, protection & counseling, & rehabilitation.2- Psycho-Social and Legal Support to four Private Shelters in PunjabSub-grant no. 124: Punjab (1 sub-grant up to $40,000)Sub-grants will be awarded to facilitate psycho-social and legal counseling program for GBVsurvivors seeking services in 4 private shelters in Punjab (Lahore, Sargodha and Muzaffargarh)to be supported under GEP cycle 6a.The selected organizations will be expected to provide support to the respective shelters byconducting a needs assessment of the existing facilities so as to develop two customizedprograms focusing on psycho-social and legal aspects. These programs will respond to thespecific intangible needs of women during their stay at the shelter, and better equip them toreintegrate into society once they leave the premises.The first component of the sub-grant should be based on a spectrum of psycho-socialinterventions maintaining a strong emphasis on providing post-traumatic support to women andchildren equipping them with emotional strength for successful reintegration into the society.The support should be actively directed at pulling them out of the psychological distress, anxietyand equipping them with confidence, sense of worth, improving their interpersonal skills,enhancing their self-esteem and faith in their abilities.By taking a systematic approach, this portion of the sub-grant will focus specifically on thefollowing: Conducting needs assessment exercises to assess the gaps in the existing services at theshelter Employing experienced and well-trained counselors who are fully equipped to deal withand respond to the needs of women in distress.Development of a comprehensive training plan for the existing shelter staff based on aneeds assessment exercise.Providing appropriate/ psycho-social rehabilitation support based on the individual needsof each survivor based on their emotional state.Put in place referral mechanisms with a hospital or psychologists for advancedpsychological care and rehabilitation if requiredDevelop a sustainability plan to cater to the socio-psychological needs of survivors postGEP support.
