A/HRC/23/17 E/CN.6/2013/8 knowledge, attitudes and behaviour among community members, sex workers and their partners, and service providers, on the intersection of HIV and violence against women. The programme has started yielding results and recognition by important stakeholders during its first year of implementation. In 2012, the judiciary in Karnataka decided to institutionalize the training across all districts through the judicial academy. 23. Conflict, post-conflict and transitional settings pose particular challenges to service delivery for survivors of violence. Across conflict-affected zones around the world, the organizations in partnership with the Trust Fund are working to meet those complex challenges so as to ensure that women receive the critical services they need. In Iraq, the International Medical Corps is building an integrated model of care for women survivors of violence by strengthening the capacity and coordination efforts of key service providers across multiple sectors of care in Baghdad and is establishing a referral system to respond to violence against women and girls. In partnership with the Ministry of Health, more than 100 medical staff from over 40 hospitals and primary health-care centres have been trained to provide better support and services to survivors. The knowledge gained by doctors, nurses, midwives, medical assistants and other medical staff is being integrated into the country’s basic health-care system. The training of local authorities, the Iraqi Bar Association of lawyers, community social workers and non-governmental organizations promotes the cross-sectoral coordination needed to ensure a comprehensive approach for the provision of services to survivors. The non-governmental organization Resonance, based in the Republic of Moldova, is implementing a programme in the region of Transdniestria, aimed at preventing and combating domestic violence. The organization has developed techniques for integrated service delivery to women survivors of violence, including an effective system of referrals. Service providers have applied the programme’s assistance model to their day-to-day work and have established a system of internal recording and reporting. The programme has been effective at reaching out to women, many of whom have become advocates and volunteers, passing on their first-hand experience, knowledge and skills to other survivors. The programme is increasing public participation in campaigns aimed at eliminating violence against women. In addition, the grantee was the driving force behind a draft domestic violence law that was intensively discussed, finalized and considered in the official agenda during parliamentary hearings in 2012. Overall, the Trust Fund has invested $7.5 million in interventions benefiting women and girls in conflict, post-conflict and transitional settings. Strengthening the institutional response to violence 24. To ensure that policies and laws adopted around the world result in tangible changes for women and girls, the Trust Fund supports a range of initiatives aimed at strengthening the institutional response to violence. By expanding the quality and quantity of support available for the effective implementation of national laws and action plans, the Trust Fund promotes accountability, transparency and citizen participation and oversight. 25. The Trust Fund supports a number of initiatives that focus on strengthening the response of justice systems to human rights violations. In many countries, gaps in capacity and insufficient clarity regarding accountability, institutional mandates and responsibilities have led to justice systems in which impunity is the norm.
