Multi-Sector - GBV Programming The consortium will work with women living with HIV, women survivors of GBV, female sex workers, child victims of violence, and women of diverse genders and sexuality (transgender and lesbian women); these groups are very vulnerable to violence, stigma, and discrimination. In one of these groups, victims of violence are very likely to experience more than one form of violence, such as physical and psychological violence, economic neglect, being left by a partner, losing custody of children, and not receiving legal assistance for cases experienced. The situation of violence against women with HIV, women and children’s survivors of violence, female sex workers, and gender diversity is influenced by several situations and conditions of victims such as poverty, low education, large numbers of children, minimal natural resources, not having sufficient access to information on violence services, not having social security, strong stigma, discrimination, and patriarchal culture contribute significantly to the problems of women's issues in Indonesia. In addition, In addition, the identity background of this group makes them even more vulnerable to experiencing multiple layers of gender-based violence. This group has many challenges or difficulties accessing comprehensive and integrated services ranging from handling to victim recovery. Integrated services needed by victims include violence services, health, safe houses, free post-mortem, psycho-social services, education, living assistance, economic empowerment, etc., justice when experiencing violence both against services organized by the government and by civil society organizations, the group also has difficulty getting access to integrated violence services according to the needs of victims. This project aims to encourage the establishment of integrated violence and health services for women survivors of violence, female sex workers, women living with HIV, and women of diverse gender and sexuality (lesbians and trans women?) who experience Gender Based Violence (GBV) to realize access to transformative justice. Access to violence services that include complaints, psychosocial, legal, health, and shelter services can be fulfilled for women from these vulnerable groups. We will work intensely with the stakeholders and decisionmakers at the national level such as the Ministry of Women Empowerment and Child Protection, the Ministry of Health, the National Commission on Violence against Women, and the NGO network in the GBV and Health Issues specially HIV. in the local level, we will work with the district office of Women Empowerment and Child Protection, health district office, Regional Technical Implementation Unit for the Protection of Women and Children (UPTD PPA), hospital and public health office, legal aid organization, Local NGO and communitybased organization. Goal Project: Women and girls in Indonesia, especially those in vulnerable groups, have their rights improved as victims of violence through high-quality integrated services for handling violence against women.

Improve the awareness of women with HIV, female sex workers, women with diverse gender and sexuality and female survivors of gender-based violence by reporting violence to service providers at the community level or violence services established by the community or government in selected provinces in Indonesia. 3. Improve access for women with HIV, female sex workers, women with diverse gender and sexuality, and female survivors of gender-based violence to complaint services, legal services, health, psychological strengthening, safe houses, and rehabilitation in violence services through integrated services established by the government in selected provinces in Indonesia.
