Supporting survivors of gender-based and sexual violence
In our humanitarian work, CARE places a special focus on women and girls and supports them to rebuild their livelihoods, reclaim their rights and remain healthy. To support survivors of sexual and gender-based violence, CARE uses an integrated approach, providing survivors with medical care and psychosocial counselling, as well as opportunities to start to earn an income through participation in village savings and loan associations. This helps women to begin to rebuild their lives and also reduces the stigma and social exclusion attached to sexual violence.
