Good Practices and InnovATIONS in Public Governance Asia and the Pacific India 2011 Category 5 — 1st Place Winner Initiative: 1054 – Increasing Access to Justice for Poor Women Who Are Victims of Sexual Atrocities Institution: Swanchetan Society for Mental Health Description Northern Indian states have a high incidence of violent crimes against women. Victims and their families often face threats and intimidations not just by the perpetrators, but by the police, too. The situation for lower caste, disabled or displaced women is more severe as their testimony is often disregarded due to systemic and social reasons. The innovation of the Swanchetan Society for Mental Health was to develop a 24-hour psychological center providing trauma counseling to women who were victims of a heinous crime such as public humiliation, lynching and (castebased) rape. Providing professional and moral support helped nearly eight thousand women to continue their struggle for justice. The project is the first one in which the Indian Police entered in a partnership with a civil society organization to provide support to victims and is regarded as an important milestone in the judicial system of the country. 56
2011 Category 5: Republic of Korea Asia and the Pacific Republic of Korea 2011 Category 5 — 2nd Place Winner Initiative: 943 – Self-Empowerment Program for Runway Teenage Women Institution: Seoul Metropolitan Governmen Description The Seoul Metropolitan Government operated a needs-based Self-Empowerment Program to keep runaway teenage girls from returning to prostitution and to help them stand on their own. The core of this program is to identify these women early in the process, and build an empowerment system focused on education and employment. Seoul has been operating the country’s first late night street counseling services targeting runaway women since 2001 to help identify such women at an early stage. In 2009, Seoul opened the country’s first Self-Empowerment School and in 2010, opened a Self-Empowerment Training Shop where its graduates can work. The Self-Empowerment Program is based on a path of early intervention to education and to employment. Critical in this program was the cooperation with NGOs, government, and academia in order to build a sustainable gender governance infrastructure. 57
