Description
The National Guidelines for Centers for the Rehabilitation of Survivors of Gender-Based Violence in Liberia were developed in 2006 to establish safe homes and rehabilitation centers for survivors of sexual and gender-based violence (GBV). These guidelines outline psychosocial care, legal assistance, and medical support for survivors, ensuring a secure and confidential environment for recovery and reintegration. They also align with United Nations conventions and African Union protocols to strengthen Liberia’s response to GBV.
