Action Plan: Health Determinants & Strategies for Sexual Violence

This project outlines an action plan to combat sexual violence by focusing on key health determinants and strategic interventions. It identifies three priorities: preventing sexual violence, protecting and supporting victims, and promoting the concept of consent. For each priority, the project details structural, environmental, cultural, individual, and health service determinants, alongside corresponding strategies. These strategies include policy changes, creating supportive environments, strengthening community action, improving personal skills, and reorienting health services. Objectives are set to improve reporting of sexual violence, reduce victim-blaming, and enhance the understanding and implementation of consent. The plan emphasizes empowering women, educating communities, engaging men and boys, and ensuring access to quality healthcare and support services for victims. The document provides a framework for a comprehensive approach to addressing sexual violence in Delhi, India, as per the assignment brief.
