There is a strong need to concentrate on resettlement and rehabilitation initiatives for women survivors of gender based violence. Shelter homes emerge as one of the main duty bearers for taking resettlement initiatives for such women as most often victims seek refuge in shelters. These policy guidelines have been developed by Dastak with a view to assist shelter homes staff to create suitable care and rehabilitation plans for resident women. These guidelines have been prepared in recognition of the fact that in majority shelter homes in Pakistan, movement of the residents is fairly restricted. Standardized guidelines have been developed which hold relevance and are applicable to all shelter homes with or without freedom of movement.
