Collective efforts needed to eliminate GBV

The Rwandan National Police will, next week, launch a nationwide campaign to raise awareness about Gender Based Violence (GBV). The Police in partnership with various organisations, both governmental and non governmental, have prioritised the fight against GBV with statistics indicating that the public is more enlightened about GBV. The Police has gone ahead and set up a new facility at the police headquarters in Kacyiru to specifically handle GBV and child protection cases. The new facility will provide services such as intervening and rescuing of GBV and child abuse victims, counselling, investigating and following up perpetrators of GBV.
