Day 2: Gender Violence Sensitisation for Home Nurses

On the 2nd day of the 2021 Prajnya 16 Days Campaign Against Gender Violence, Prajnya offered a training session on domestic violence and workplace sexual harrassment for home nursing trainees in partnership with the Association for Non-traditional Employment for Women (ANEW). 

The 3-hour session was administered by Sudaroli Ramaswamy of Prajnya. In the first part of the session, she spoke about the different kinds of gender-based violence and how they can sometimes be invisible. She then spoke about sexual harrassment at the workplace, and how these situations can be remedied. Sudaroli also touched upon identifying domestic violence as home nurses, bystander intervention and rapport building. She concluded the session by speaking about some of the protocols social workers and counsellors follow in cases of domestic violence and workplace sexual harrassment cases.
