The Chief Executive of Action Aid Joanna Kerr is impressed with the level of care offered to victims at Isange one stop centre run by the National Police.
Ms Kerr was yesterday touring the centre to have a firsthand look at services offered to Gender Based Violence (GBV) victims.
Attendants at the centre explained to Ms Kerr the process that patients go through from when the victims are received to when they are discharged.
“Action Aid is committed to partner Police and be part of solutions,” Kerr said stressing the importance of communities in bringing the issue of GBV to the lime light as it remains an obstacle to socio economic development.
Action Aid donated equipment worth Frw 8.5 million to help combat Gender Based violence in Nyaruguru and Musanze districts.
Kerr also met the Inspector General of Police Emmanuel Gasana and the two discussed crime prevention.
IGP explained the role of Police as not only focused on criminal prevention but also promoting human security by participating in the national development agenda.
“By focusing on human security we reassure the public that we care about their social- economic development,” Gasana said.
