Shelter Centre
Women Economic Development Programme
 Training for marginalized women groups for acquiring professional skillsThe Shelter Centre has been doing practical work with women and children-victims of violence since 2001. Recently, they have come to the conclusion that the economic dependence on the partner is one of the commonest reasons that bind the women in the homes where they suffer abuse. The bad economy and the high rate of poverty in our country, that is, the incapability to provide existence for their children and themselves, the ignorant attitude by the country and the non-existence of supporting programmes, are the main reasons why these women are controlled, manipulated and forced to stay in such violent relations.
