WINGS is an evidence-based screening, trauma-informed brief intervention with safety planning, social support building, and linkage to services to identify and reduce intimate partner violence (IPV) and other forms of GBV.

WINGS has shown to be effective in reducing IPV and GBV, drug use and PTSD symptoms among women impacted by the criminal legal system, women who use drugs, women who engage in sex work, women living with HIV and women living in extreme poverty.

Through culturally tailored mobile health tools, peer advocate support, partnerships with service providers, and community engagement, WINGS facilitates access to vital IPV/GBV services and resources and advances the safety and well-being of women from marginalized communities.

By engaging women experiencing IPV and living with marginalized identities along with local stakeholders at every stage—from adaptation to implementation—we have built trust, expanded access to services for women from marginalized communities, and created an ecosystem of support that extends far beyond the WINGS program itself.

In the past year, thousands of women from marginalized communities have received WINGS IPV prevention and response services. WINGS is currently being delivered in India, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Kyrgyzstan, Ukraine, the United States, and Uzbekistan, and plans are underway to bring WINGS to women in Pakistan and the Caribbean region.

The WINGS model demonstrates that effective, evidence-based IPV prevention can be delivered at scale through mobile technology and community engagement led by women with lived experience of IPV  from marginalized communities, even in low-resource, high-stigma settings.

WINGS-Ukraine, a national program, led by NGO Club “Eney”, won the Council of Europe Development Bank (CEB) Award for Social Cohesion 2026 for its support to women facing violence, exclusion, poverty and substance abuse in the context of war.

WINGS-Ukraine operates in 16 regions across the country and assists women living at the margins of society. By equipping fragile women with practical tools to access services and rebuild their lives, the project helps restore trust, dignity and safety among those women who are often excluded from traditional support services.

“Our work is about the power of community and the changes that become possible when a woman is heard. When she is given the right to choose and the resources she needs, dignity, safety and a new beginning become possible. This award is a reminder that care, empathy and systemic work can truly change reality,” said Antonina Denysova, Monitoring and Evaluation Manager at NGO Club “Eney”.

“Congratulations to WINGS-Ukraine, which fully embodies the values at the heart of the CEB Award for Social Cohesion,” said CEB Governor Carlo Monticelli. “Its women-centred, community-based approach delivers tangible impact in one of Europe’s most challenging contexts and demonstrates how innovative social programmes can continue to operate–and save lives–even in times of war.”
