Interventions
HERrespect is developed by Business for Social Responsibility (BSR) and Change Associates. HERproject is one of BSR's numerous initiatives for improving women's lives through enhancement of access and knowledge (BSR, 2015). The factory-based component of HERrespect will be implemented by Change Associates. The intervention group will receive training (group session), research and consultancy services to the corporate and development sectors. HERrespect proposes to use the workplace as an incubator of dialogue among men and women to tackle underlying issues which allow violence against women and girls. Workplace offers a unique platform and environment to engage women who are gaining financial independence to reduce intimate partner violence and workplace violence.
