Awareness and Resource Centre for Victims of Sexual Assault

Abstract

Sexual violence is a major public health and human rights issue, with both short and long-term effects on a person's physical, mental, sexual, and reproductive health. In India, a crime against a woman is reported approximately every two minutes. The fourth most frequent crime against women in India is rape. Understanding the victim's perspective and evaluating the effectiveness of counselling are important considerations for assisting rape victims in recovering from their trauma. The project intends to translate architectural spaces to the behavior and psychology of survivors, establishing a community in which survivors help themselves and their fellow survivors recover. In order to have a long-lasting impact on the survivors' overall development, the project's programme needs to be created. The goal is to establish a SAFE HAVEN with a structure of institutions that will enable access to all the resources they need to return to their previous lives or start new ones.
