Nakuru County is in the process of establishing Gender-Based Violence (GBV) rescue centres in all the 11 constituencies to address issues of violence and offer counselling services to victims.
County Executive Committee Member (CECM) for Youth, Sports, Gender, and Social Services Josephine Achieng said that the centers will play a crucial role in providing psychosocial support and case management for GBV survivors.
The CECM said the county government had identified battering, defilement, rape, early marriages, and pregnancies as some of the forms of violence meted out on women, men, and children and highlighted several measures the county was implementing to combat the GBV, including victim referrals, countywide sensitisation programmes, and legal aid services.
