Implemented at the Coast General Teaching and Referral Hospital, the Gender-Based Violence (GBV) and Recovery Center provides an integrated model of services for sexual violence survivors. Clinical response services and linkage, within the hospital occurs, in addition to counselling services, especially psychosocial support with emphasis on child therapy based on the fact that the majority (over 80%) of survivors are children below 18 years. A legal support system consisting of community paralegals is attached to the centre, and they link survivors to the police gender desks and also help to follow up cases in court. Between May 2007 and March 2023, the centre provided SGBV responses to 9,640 survivors.
