The project will support in adopting a multi-pronged approach in addressing GBV and strengthening the resilience of women in crises affected communities in Somalia.
It will help strengthen “multi-sectoral responses” to provide quality information and access to GBV services by various stakeholders specifically in the areas of health, psychosocial support, law enforcement (police, prosecutors and justice departments) and social services including shelter and livelihoods support.
