The 4Rs Framework for Women and Child Protection (Recognition, Response, Referral, and Reporting) provides a comprehensive approach to understanding safeguarding and protection, making it an ideal orientation tool for new employees who will be interacting with students and colleagues and implementing protective programs and services. In response, this 18-Day Campaign to End Violence Against Women, aligned with the WHO 2025 global theme "Healthy Beginnings, Hopeful Futures," will be held from November 25 to December 12, 2025. The campaign seeks to integrate health education and gender advocacy by highlighting the connection between women's rights, maternal well-being, mental health, and violence prevention. 

Spearheaded by the Gender and Development (GAD) Committee and Women and Children Protection Unit in collaboration with the Medical Social Work Department, this  hospital-based initiative will serve as a platform for patient-centered education, empowerment, and psychosocial support. It also reinforces the hospital's commitment to being safe, inclusive, and responsive institution for women, mothers, and families seeking care. Grounded in the principles of Health Promotion, gender Equality, and Universal Health Care, the campaign underscores that a women and children's health, dignity, and safety are shared community responsibilities - and that every women and children deserves to feel safe, heard, and cared for at every stage of life.
