AWSAD has various projects was designed to address the gaps in services for women and girls survivors of VAWG through the provision of holistic service that includes temporary shelter, meals, counselling, medical treatment, basic literacy education, legal follow up and various skills training. AWSAD currently runs seven shelters in different parts of the country including Addis Ababa, Oromia, Adama, Hawassa, Dessie and Weldia. The shelters enable survivors of violence to get physically and mentally rehabilitated from the consequences of violence, become economically independent, and successfully reintegrated into society. In addition to the provision of shelter services, the project also intervenes at the community level to address the root causes of VAWG, e.g., unequal power relations between men and women as well as negative social norms entrenched in the society. Accordingly, AWSAD has been implementing a comprehensive approach for community mobilization called SASA (Sensitize, Awareness, Support and Action) to mobilize the community in some of its intervention area for the prevention of violence against women and HIV. Moreover, capacity building trainings are provided for students, boys and girls, in selected primary schools on life skills, gender, and reproductive health with the aim to enhance the capacity of service providers such as Police, Public Prosecutors, Judges and Bureau of Women, Children and Youth Affairs. AWSAD also provides training on essential service provisions to survivors, case management, referral linkage and stress and burnout management.
