“As health workers, safe houses complement our work by offering a refuge where survivors can continue their recovery after receiving medical attention,” says Ms. Elizabeth Peter, a nurse from the Baiyer District Health Center in Western Highlands Province. As part of her duties, Elizabeth deals with cases of gender-based violence that have been referred to her by the Kyokonda Community Development Association, one of UNDP’s civil society partners working on gender-based violence in the province. “It’s reassuring to know we have a reliable partner that helps us provide holistic care and long-term support to those in need,” Elizabeth says. #16Days #NoExcuse
