🌟 Strengthening Safe and Survivor-Centred GBV Responses

Today, Rozan facilitated a capacity-building session with NCA partners, including the Civil Society Support Program (CSSP) and Khwendo Kor, under the GBV project.

The session focused on protocols for safely responding to GBV disclosures and the importance of maintaining updated lists of local GBV referral service providers. Participants explored survivor-centred and trauma-informed approaches, confidentiality, informed consent, empathetic communication, and appropriate responses to direct and indirect disclosures.

Through interactive discussions, participants reflected on healing statements, non-judgmental communication, safe referrals, and the importance of respecting survivors’ choices, dignity, and autonomy.

The session reinforced the need for strong and regularly updated referral pathways to ensure that survivors can safely access medical, psychosocial, legal, protection, and shelter services according to their needs and preferences.

Rozan appreciates the active participation and commitment of CSSP, Khwendo Kor, and other NCA partners toward creating safer, more responsive, and supportive institutions and communities for women and girls.

🌟 Learning, Reflection and Growth: Two-Day Interns’ Training

Rozan conducted a two-day capacity-building training for its interns to strengthen their personal awareness, understanding of gender-related issues, and professional communication skills.

The training began with interactive sessions on self-awareness, personal identity, gender, and power, encouraging participants to reflect on their experiences, attitudes, and social environment.

On the second day, participants explored masculinities, the root causes and impacts of violence, behaviour patterns, communication, and constructive feedback. Through engaging discussions and participatory activities, the interns developed a deeper understanding of how gender norms and power relations influence individuals and communities.

The training created a supportive space for learning, reflection, dialogue, and personal growth. Rozan remains committed to empowering young people with the knowledge and skills required to contribute toward a more equal, respectful, and violence-free society.

Creating safe and supportive spaces for survivors begins with strengthening the people they turn to first.

In partnership with KMC, JICA, SWD, and PWPA, Rozan conducted a capacity-building training using the ASRA Psychosocial Education Tool for DWPOs/WPOs, Assistant Directors of Shelter Homes, psychologists, and other frontline service providers supporting survivors of violence and abuse.

The training explored the dynamics of domestic violence, including the cycle of violence, patterns of power and control, the impact of trauma on survivors and children, and the importance of maintaining one’s identity while living in an abusive relationship. Through interactive learning, participants strengthened their skills in active listening, survivor-centered communication, safety planning, and supporting resilience, self-worth, and informed decision-making contributing to more trauma-informed services that uphold dignity, foster trust, and promote the safety, agency, and healing of survivors of gender-based violence.

🌿 Supporting Those Who Support Survivors

Behind every survivor’s journey toward healing, there are professionals who listen, guide, support, and respond with care.

Rozan conducted a focused training with psychologists of Transitional Homes, Punjab, under the Social Welfare Department (SWD) to strengthen their role in providing safe, ethical, and survivor-centred psychosocial support.

The training created space for learning, reflection, and practical skill-building around individual counselling, group counselling, assessment tools, referral pathways, protection laws, and the use of the ASRA booklet. Through role plays and interactive exercises, participants explored ways to respond to survivors with empathy, dignity, and a deeper understanding of trauma and recovery.

For survivors, quality psychosocial support can make a lasting difference. It can help rebuild confidence, reduce self-blame, strengthen coping skills, and create a sense of safety and hope.

Through this training, Rozan continues its commitment to strengthening frontline care systems so that every survivor is met with respect, compassion, and meaningful support.

🌿 Strengthening Survivor-Centred Support in Transitional Homes

As part of the Transitional Home Staff Training in Lahore, Rozan engaged Transitional Home staff in two essential areas: strengthening ethical attitudes and practising the ASRA psychosocial education tool.

The morning sessions focused on empathy, non-judgmental behaviour, confidentiality, trauma-informed care, and stress management reinforcing that a respectful and ethical attitude is the foundation of survivor-centred practice.

In the afternoon, participants explored ASRA, a psychosocial education resource designed to help survivors understand the mechanisms of violence and control, reduce self-blame, and move towards recovery with dignity and hope. Through role plays and case studies, staff practised using the tool to strengthen survivors’ knowledge, agency, and coping skills.

By combining compassionate attitudes with practical tools, Rozan is helping Transitional Homes remain safe and empowering spaces where survivors are met with respect, advocacy, strength, hope, and meaningful action.
