{The wife of the Vice President of India, Mrs. Salma Ansari, has commended Rwanda\u2019s holistic approach of setting up Isange One Stop Centres to support the vulnerable victims of gender based violence and child abuse.}<\/p>\n

While visiting the centre at Kacyiru District hospital on Monday, where she was given an insight into the idea behind its establishment and services offered, Mrs Ansari said that although India has almost a similar set up, there\u2019s a lot to learn from Rwanda\u2019s approach.<\/p>\n

Mrs. Ansari is in the country accompanying her husband and the Vice-President of India, Shri M Hamid Ansari, for a three-day visit.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have such centres in India, but it\u2019s always better to have new in puts\u2026it is always nice to learn best practices\u2026 something new, which can also be very useful to us,\u201d Ansari said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis \u2013 Isange One Stop Centre \u2013 is a very impressive centre; how women are give care in times of crisis\u2026looking into it in every detail; this is very inductive as a whole,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

She hastened to add that the mental, emotional and physical crisis that victims of GBV and child abuse pass through necessitates to best approach to rehabilitate the affected, and that Isange Stop Centre stands out.<\/p>\n

This, she underscored, is a great achievement worth of learning from.<\/p>\n

Isange, which started in 2009 as a pilot project, offers free psycho-socio, medical, legal and counseling services to victims of GBV and child abuse.<\/p>\n

Under the scale up programme, Isange has so far been established in at least 28 hospitals across the country as part of the grand programme to replica them in all district hospitals and health centres countrywide.<\/p>\n

Supt. Shafiga Murebwayire, the coordinator of Isange centres, said: \u201cWe do a lot of things to ensure that a victim gets all required services. We give them medical services through which we also get evidence to supplement judicial process against the culprit, and give them counseling to ensure that a victim is full rehabilitated, and victims get justice.\u201d<\/p>\n

Isange, loosely translated as \u2018feel at home\u2019 is run by Rwanda National Police (RNP) in partnership with the ministries of Justice, Health, and Gender and Family Promotion, with the support of Imbuto Foundation and other partners.<\/p>\n
