The International Foundation for Crime Prevention and Victim Care (PCVC) was founded in 2001 in Chennai, Tamil Nadu. We create and extend support services for women and queer individuals affected by domestic and interpersonal violence. PCVC is a rights-based organization that strongly believes in a survivor-centric approach. Clients drive the process and make all decisions regarding their life with the full and unconditional support of a team of social workers, psychologists and welfare officers.
Over the years, the organization has evolved to provide both emergency support and long-term rehabilitative support and created a comprehensive model that takes women and queer individuals from a survivor to a thriver. Through our crisis intervention services, women and queer individuals have access to immediate information about interfacing with the police, devising safety plans, leaving abusive homes, negotiating with families, legal and medical referrals and specialized services for children.
