VAWG Workshop at Hyderabad, Telangana

The Centre for Public Policy Research (CPPR) undertook a national-level policy research project titled “Strengthening Institutional Mechanisms Combating Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG)” across five states in India. The study focuses on violence against women and girls in both private and public spaces.

As part of the project, CPPR organized a two-day workshop on Strengthening Institutional Mechanisms Combating Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) in Hyderabad, Telangana. The event was conducted on June 25 and 26, 2025, at The Plaza – Begumpet, Hyderabad, supported by the U.S. Consulate General, Chennai, and held in collaboration with Bhumika Women’s Collective, Hyderabad, and the Centre for Development Policy and Practice (CDPP), Hyderabad.

The workshop brought together key stakeholders from various departments and sectors to engage in in-depth discussions on the gaps and challenges within existing institutional mechanisms addressing VAWG. The discussions focused on identifying localised gaps and exploring context-specific strategies to address them, complementing the efforts of relevant institutions.

The VAWG Hyderabad workshop also featured activity-based sessions designed to explore the technical and operational aspects of VAWG response mechanisms, enabling participants to gain deeper insights and actionable takeaways.
