WITH WHOM DO WE COLLABORATE AT LOCAL LEVEL?

We are a part of “United Nations Joint Program” that is being conducted within the triangle of UNFPA-local governments-NGOs for preventing violence against women and girls, the partnership of UNDP-local governments-NGOs for people who are displaced within the country, and “Conservation Board Established with Supervised Release” founded for providing psycho-social support to people who suffered from crime and released from prison under the leadership of Van Prosecutor’s Office in collaboration with all public institutions, some NGOs and trade associations. Within this scope, we write project proposals for women’s employment, and work on common ideas and practices with public institutions and organizations upon the demands for improving the situation of women in prison or women who suffered from violence.
