Theseus Shambare in MUTOKO
WOMEN Affairs, Community, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Minister Monica Mutsvangwa is today expected to launch a Mobile One-Stop Centre (MOSC) for survivors of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) at Chatiza Secondary School in Mutoko, Mashonaland East.
The Government-led initiative, supported by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and other partners, is designed to ensure survivors in rural and hard-to-reach areas have access to comprehensive services under one roof.
The services include healthcare, psycho-social counselling, legal aid and police assistance.
The event will also be attended by representatives from the Zimbabwe Gender Commission, the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA), the Zimbabwe Republic Police and civil society organisations, who are part of the multi-sectoral response to gender-based violence.
Minister Mutsvangwa is expected to witness the operationalisation of the centre, engage with local stakeholders and reaffirm Government’s commitment to protecting vulnerable groups through coordinated national and community-based interventions.
