Survivor-centered care and systems that prevent and respond to gender-based violence
GBV Prevention & Response
In Northeast Nigeria, women and girls of reproductive age face severe risks of GBV, including sexual violence. Many lack access to essential services — post-rape care, psychosocial support, and safe referral pathways.
We provide life-saving, survivor-centered care and strengthen systems to prevent and respond to GBV in humanitarian settings.
