named Pankhi since 2019. This project, aiming to help and empower women survivors of
domestic violence, This programme covers the whole state of Kerala.

Domestic violence is an acute and widely prevalent
problem in India,and hence has serious economic,
social and health implications not only for women and
children, but also for the wider family and community.
Annually, one-third of women age 15-49 have
experienced physical violence and about 1 in 10 has experienced sexual violence and emotional
violence. If we have to make any impact in this area, it is essential to provide awareness on
Gender based Violence and encourage preventive measures on an ongoing basis, at all levels of
society.

suffering from domestic violence.
