My Reflection of the visit to VAWC

We visited the VAWC as part of our community outreach for our exhibition. Over there we met Miss Hira (psychologist) who explained us very thoroughly and we got to explore the whole center. She even explained us a lot about domestic violence. I found it very interesting. We also got a chance to see some victims who were there to report their case.

To address violence against women, a specialized center was created in 2017, in line with the 2016 Punjab Protection of Women Against Violence Act. This facility consolidates legal, judicial, medical, and psychological services, offering a holistic support system for victims. 

In this center there are 4 different departments: The Police, Prosecution, Medical and Psychological.


The Police Department:

  • The Women Police Station of VAWC is an advanced and amazing police station. It includes reporting, FIR lodging and investigating. Furthermore, It has 2 detention areas, 1 for men and the other for women. It has a link with other police stations in Multan for extreme female cases. 
The Medical Department:
  • the VAWC medical department provides comprehensive medical services for survivors of violence including first aid for urgent help, medical examinations and x-rays.
The Psychological Department:
  • The psychological department provides rehabilitation and talking sessions with the psychologist to release stress and trauma.
The Prosecution Department:
  • The prosecution department handles the prosecution of cases related to violence against women, including the judges rooms and court rooms.   

Interesting Facts: 
  • The whole center is staffed by women.
  • This center is controlled by the government.

How can education and awareness help shift traditional gender expectations? Learning and understanding about gender equality can change how we think about traditional roles.
