Surviving domestic violence - Pepukai's story

UNFPA together with partners Musasa and FACT have been working to ensure abused women and girls have access to integrated gender-based violence and sexual and reproductive health services in the Mbire and Shamva districts of Zimbabwe. The project, called "Strengthening provision of integrated gender-based violence and sexual and reproductive health services in remote and hard to reach districts of Zimbabwe", was implemented with the support of the Government of Japan.

A key component of this project was access to essential gender-based violence and sexual and reproductive health services through mobile One-Stop Centres and Safe Spaces.

The Mobile One-Stop Centres provide survivors with services such as counselling, health services, police and legal assistance, all under one roof. Survivors can also access emergency supplies, such as dignity kits, post-rape kits, and family planning supplies.
