  4. Project Design Summary • Domestic violence ad campaign - To promote constructive public dialogue around the previously taboo topic of domestic violence. • Community leader trainings - To improve the facilitation of community meetings, communication, and community outreach. • Community meetings - To provide a forum for local community members to engage with local leaders in order to address concerns, debunk myths, raise awareness, and promote grassroot change. • Police trainings - To equip police personnel with the adequate tools to address the complexities of domestic violence. Scale and Sustainability • Using peer groups to slowly build a network of community leaders to work together to continue education and training. • Training local leaders as trainers so they in turn will train other members of the community.
