Here are just some of the things FOKUPERS has achieved in the last few years.

Between 2013 and 2016, FOKUPERS conducted 20 discussions regarding gender, human rights, GBV, DV, reproductive health, rights to land and property, legal information and civil law suits, for a total of 947 victims living in the shelters and at their own homes.

Over the past 4 years, Fokupers has provided accomodation for 656 women and 377 children accompanying them at the shelters and safe houses. Fokupers has then re-integrated 78% of the victims.

During their stay at the FOKUPERS shelter or safe houses, 785 victims have had access to individual counselling conducted in Dili, Maliana, Suai and Liquiça to help them to reduce their trauma and begin to recover.

Between 2013 and 2016, a total of 22 Advocacy Network Institutions provided support for advocacy undertaken by FOKUPERS. The Advocacy Network has already been successful in pressuring the government to follow up on the 71% of cases pending in the courts.

The Referral Network established by FOKUPERS in Bobonaro, Covalima, Ermera and Liquiça continues to provide coordinated support to victims of GBV in their areas. Currently directly managed by the Ministry of Social Solidarity (MSS), the Referral Network at the municipal level includes members such as the focal points from SEM, the VPU/ PNTL, local, national and international NGOs working together to increase the numbers of GBV victims seeking assistance and further improving the support systems for victims/survivors.

Over the past four years, FOKUPERS has conducted training in areas of trauma healing, leadership, grassroots organising, marketing, shelter management, legal skills, and more.

Four institutions - Mary Mackillop, Alola Foundation, Childfund, and the Ministry of Education – are using or have adapted the curriculum from FOKUPERS for their early childhood programs. The approach using gender balance and non-violence at FOKUPERS’ Child Care Centre (CCC) was adopted as the National Curriculum in 2014 for early childhood education in Timor-Leste and by 2015 was implemented throughout Timor-Leste at all pre-schools.

Over the past four years, the CCC team have become experts in early childhood education, that is conducted without violence and promotes gender equality.

6. More legal assistance available for women.

Liu tan asisténsia legál disponivel ba feto sira.

FOKUPERS has assisted women before, during, and after court their court cases.

PU/PNTL, the Public Ministry, Public Defenders and Courts have expressed their appreciation for these services provided by FOKUPERS. They see that victims/survivors that receive accompaniment have the courage to be able to express their testimony clearly, making it easy to process their cases.

Nearly half of the children assisted by FOKUPERS have been able to get alimony from their fathers by legal recourse. This has greatly helped their mothers to ensure that they have proper food, access to education, and health services.
