Help just a call away for victims of violence
After realising that people often feel more at ease to talk about painful situations in a non-face-to-face setting, the Department of Social Development opened a Gender-Based Violence (GBV) Command Centre.
The command centre opened its doors in November 2013 and operates 24 hours a day and operational all year long helping those who are affected by gender-based violence.
