20 Police Response for Community Mediation Mr. Sawang said the number of cases related to women issues reported in police stations was just the tip of the iceberg as many cases went unreported. It was the endeavour of the Mahila Mitra network to provide succour to the silent sufferers who stayed away from police stations. Our effort is to transform it into a social movement, primary idea was to create woman-friendly spaces through this network in an organised and most modest manner. It is a very constructive, supportive and informal mechanism wherein the police take a proactive stand playing the role of a catalyst.

21 10 Tips to Be Successful After Domestic Violence 1. Domestic Violence is not your fault 2. Safety of you and your children is the number 1 priority 3. Seek Legal advise promptly and timely 4. Make sure you are receiving all your entitlements and be aware of your rights 5. Seek help there is lot from police, family violence services

22 6. Children are affected by family violence. Use support networks to help parenting- teachers, grandparents, youth workers, family counselors. 7. Seek support through friends, support groups, professional counseling, Build strong social networks. 8. Seek a financial counselor to see your finances on track. The sooner you ask for help, the easier it is. 9. Take time out for your self. If you can t look after your self you can t look after your children. 10. Focus on the future and what you want from the future. Set yourself short term and long term achievable goals.

23 Sum-up Community mediation reduce damage happening to women through timely intervention. Psychological and emotional comfort at neighbourhood: SUPPORT For VICTIM Tracking the family after conciliation at community Police and community intervention with other stakeholders for prevention, relief and rehabilitation of victim is essential.
