A/HRC/23/17 E/CN.6/2013/8 Novib. Puntos de Encuentro is one of the resource organizations in this programme, sharing and helping replicate its experiences throughout Asia and Africa. Expanding access to support services for survivors 20. The Trust Fund supports coordinated, comprehensive and multisectoral approaches to ending violence against women. To ensure that the range of interrelated needs and rights of women survivors of violence are being addressed effectively, grantees engage with multiple sectors and institutions, including those related to health, security and/or police, legal matters, education, social affairs, youth affairs, labour and urban planning. 21. In Mozambique, in 2012, Pathfinder International, a grantee, established the first integrated centre in the country to care for and assist survivors of violence against women, bringing together health, psychosocial, law enforcement, paralegal and social services under one roof. The programme is strengthening the capacities of police and health providers in the Gaza province, contributing to the now fully functional directorates of assistance for women and children victims of violence in the police stations of Chokwè and Xai-Xai City. In these Cabinets, trained health providers receive and treat survivors, and refer them to appropriate services. The programme is also building the capacity of provincial and district directorates to plan, budget (e.g., training on gender-responsive budgeting), implement and monitor interventions to prevent violence against women. All partners and associates have been trained on gender and policies/laws related to the elimination of violence against women. These activities are the crucial building blocks for increasing ownership and sustainability of the strategies and interventions beyond the lifetime of the programme. 22. Moreover, the Trust Fund supports a number of pioneering initiatives aimed at strengthening service delivery for particularly vulnerable women and girls. As part of the $9.6 million allocated to the special thematic window 5 addressing the intersection of HIV/AIDS and violence against women, the recipients of grants from the Trust Fund are working to increase access for women and girls to critical services. The Ukrainian Foundation for Public Health is implementing a programme to improve the lives of women living with HIV and women and girls living on the streets, who are survivors of gender-based violence, by improving their access to care and support, and by building the systems, capacity and commitment of the Government to prevent and respond to violence. The initiative established first identification, referral and service provision system in Kiev for cases of violence against women and girls living with HIV/AIDS and living on the streets. The foundation is also piloting an innovative programme to engage over 400 perpetrators of violence in behavioural change counselling and education, in four cities throughout the country. In India, the Karnataka Health Promotion Trust is implementing a programme to address high levels of violence and increased vulnerability to HIV/AIDS experienced by sex workers in the Southern Indian state of Karnataka, where nearly 135,000 women work in sex work, of whom 26 per cent report having been beaten or raped in the past year alone. By intervening at the individual, community and institutional levels, the programme is improving __________________ 5 12-64357 The Trust Fund launched a special funding window as part of its fifteenth call for proposals, focusing on programmes that address the twin pandemics of HIV/AIDS and violence against women. 7
