Women and girls face discrimination continuously and violence despite constitutional rights due to caste, community, class, gender and disability-based exclusions. Being part of Women’s and Child Rights movement in the last 3 decades, SWARD played significant role at grassroot level for promoting gender equality and building support for enactment of progressive laws and policies for Women and Children like Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act 2005, Prevention of Sexual Harassment at Workplace, Juvenile Justice Act, Criminal Amendment Act to name a few. SWARD provided support to women and child survivors of violence through its Counselling Centre but realized that changing Government/Institutional response are critical. It worked with Police through establishing support Centre for women in Police Station and build responsive mechanism with civil society collaboration which became a replicable model in erstwhile Andhra Pradesh state.
