Focus

on Addressing Inequities

Mental Health

Mental health problems such as depression, low self-esteem, anxiety, self-harm and suicidal tendencies, and PTSD, are not uncommon amongst survivors of violence.

Access to Justice

Survivor representation within the Criminal Justice System (CJS), can shift attitudes or responses from the judiciary, in favour of the rights of the survivors.

Sanjog believes that if trafficking, violence and abuse are to be checked and curtailed, it is necessary to build pedagogy on leadership with people and groups who have been victims of violence and exploitation.

Assimilation

For survivors to be reintegrated into their communities, it is essential to address the intersectionality of various issues. Recognising the impact on the survivors’ mental health can allow for justice to be redefined.

Financial Inclusion & Livelihoods

Sanjog recognises that for survivors to be financially independent, government and non-government stakeholders need to work together to create a supportive ecosystem that affords them their agency.

Technology for Social Empowerment

Sanjog fundamentally sees technology as a powerful tool to empower marginalised communities, providing them with the means to access resources and challenge prevailing power structures.

Gender Equity

One of the many ways in which Sanjog approaches the issues of survivors of violence is through the lens of gender equity and the intersectionality of spaces.
