Abuse is a taboo topic that brings up feelings of guilt and shame. A PeaceMaker is not a policeman, a magistrate, a foreign NGO worker, or even an involved relative. The PeaceMaker is a woman from the community: she is a sister, an aunty, a friend, a neighbor. She is someone who earns their trust and encourages victims to share their stories.<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-59803e0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"59803e0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The PeaceMaker is the most effective option for reaching women and encouraging them to access help. In Indian society, there is a lack of awareness and misinformation regarding what constitutes domestic violence, the legalities surrounding domestic violence, and in many cases, the practicalities of mending a broken marriage. A PeaceMaker can lead women to answers and eventually to a positive outcome \u2013 most importantly, with the victim\u2019s permission and support.<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ce82bfb elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"ce82bfb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">In the women we encounter, change in their lives must begin at home. It is here that sons learn to become abusers and daughters learn to accept abuse. It is inside the home where the seed of inequality is planted and grows to complete a cycle of oppression which has been flourishing for generations. Operation PeaceMaker aims to overturn this gender inequality rooted in centuries of patriarchy, but we will start simply by deploying PeaceMakers who work one-on-one, woman-to-woman to educate and equip violence survivors to live a life free from Abuse.<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1eb109e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1eb109e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Making a PeaceMaker<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f6ce1b4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"f6ce1b4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Operation PeaceMaker has opened (and will continue to open) Training and Counselling Centres in strategically chosen areas of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, ones that are rife with domestic violence.

Our PeaceMakers go through a 4-week Basic Training, followed by an 8-week Internship where they start actively working on domestic violence cases in their own communities. After successfully completing their training and Internship, they are hired by Operation PeaceMaker and receive the official title of \u201cPeaceMaker.\u201d This, however, is just the start of their journey as change agents.

Only at level 5, when the previous 4 levels of Intervention have failed, will the woman and her children be removed from the home. We train our PeaceMakers that the best outcome for any domestic violence case is that the violence simply stops. The first goal and best outcome is always to help perpetrators stop perpetrating violence and instead become loving husbands.<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3961122 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3961122\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Our PeaceMaker Interns check in with a head counselor at the Centre twice weekly to monitor their progress and continue to do so after they are hired. Once a woman successfully completes her Internship, she is hired by Operation PeaceMaker and receives a monthly honorarium for her work. For many PeaceMakers this is the first salary she has ever received. Paying a salary reinforces for our PeaceMakers the value and necessity of the work they do.<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6f6d1d4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"6f6d1d4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Thousands of PeaceMakers<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d2dd8c0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"d2dd8c0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Each My Choices PeaceMaker training can accommodate between 40 and 100 women.
