In Tajikistan, 15 support rooms for victims of violence have been created as part of the Ray of Light initiative.

Fifteen support rooms for victims of violence have opened in medical facilities in Tajikistan, thanks to the efforts of the Spotlight Initiative, working in partnership with the country's Ministry of Health. This means victims now have access to the necessary medical and psychosocial support, according to the UN press service.

In addition, more than 300 healthcare workers and 90 teachers have been trained as part of the initiative. Tajik government officials conduct regular monitoring visits and organize professional development courses for specialists.

According to the initiative's latest report, the program it created, which operates in Central Asia, has helped strengthen cooperation among civil society organizations. The "Ray of Light" network, which unites activists, NGOs, and feminist groups, was also established in the region. It currently has approximately 600 members.

In 2017, the UN and the European Union launched the Spotlight Initiative, the largest global programme to eliminate all forms of violence against women and girls and achieve gender equality.

With an investment of €500 million between 2017 and 2023, the initiative has achieved significant results in Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Pacific and the Caribbean.
