Audrey D'mello - Fighting Through the Darkness of Domestic Violence
Audrey D'Mello is the program director at the Majlis Legal Centre for Women in Mumbai. Apart from streamlining the existing programmes around access to justice and evolving internal control systems and monitoring mechanisms, her main contribution has been in evolving Majlis’ collaborations with the government in two important areas – the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005 and RAHAT, providing support to survivors of sexual violence and bringing in systems for state accountability towards victims. Towards this, she has evolved protocols, guidelines and training modules for various stakeholders including the judiciary and the police.
