Violence against women

PVF supports primarily programmes promoting the psychosocial rehabilitation and fostering the economic autonomy of women victims of violence who are made even more vulnerable by ensuing social exclusion and ostracism (e.g. trafficking victims, ex-girl soldiers, etc.).

PVF does not fund the distribution of food or non-food relief items, the delivery of social services, or advocacy and awareness-raising work, if these are not complemented by activities that enhance the livelihood security and earning potential of survivors of violence.
