Abstract

Beauty salons serve as safe community spaces where those who come to avail services often discuss/share their personal stories and domestic concerns. Having developed outreach in communities through its paralegals, Dastak saw this as an opportunity to improve knowledge on marriage rights and outreach of its services by providing basic training and information material to beauticians/salon owners and to enable them to guide their female clients as well as their employees to resources and knowledge concerning matters related to marriage and domestic violence.
