Working with GBV survivors worldwide has taught us that social support by family, the community and the authorities are crucial for their empowerment and personal healing. To create such an amiable environment where GBV survivors can fully exercise their rights without fear of stigmatization, reprisal or blaming, CDP, TPO and VSS conduct a variety of outreach and advocacy activities. They target stakeholders that have the potential to improve the settings for GBV survivors.
