Saath-Saath Gender-based Violence Prevention and Mitigation Card Game

Saath-Saath Project (SSP), funded by United States Agency for International Development (USAID) provided HIV prevention, care, support and treatment services along with family planning (FP) services, referral and gender-based violence (GBV) prevention and mitigation services through its outreach activities and expanded integrated health services (EIHS) sites.

This pictorial card game provides information about forms of GBV through five different pictorial stories with GBV messages, delivers information about the effects of GBV and encourages practice of safe behaviors. Also, informs about high risk of HIV infection – irregular use of condoms when having sex with regular/intimate partner compared to commercial/casual partner.

The objective of the game is to encourage Female Sex Workers (FSWs) and FSWs and Transgender Sex Workers (TGSWs) to practice safe behaviors to prevent GBV and be aware of GBV that they might be facing in their lives. Also encourage to seek GBV prevention, psychosocial counseling and treatment services.
