The Gender Sensitization and People-friendly Police Project to Address Violence Against Women is a joint partnership between Karnataka State Police and UNICEF (Hyderabad) which begun in 2001. The Project provided trainings to staff including sub-inspectors on various gender and violence related issues. A SPARC (Structures, Procedures, Attitudes, Resources and Community Connections) checklist tool was developed by GSPP to evaluate the existing understanding of the laws protecting women. The checklist also examines follow up on incidents related to sexual harassment, violence against children and trafficking of women and children. In this Project over 3000 police personnel have been trained.
