@Oxfam Once identified these victims who stay due to economics can be funded in the interim by organisations such as Oxfam and those dealing with alleviation of poverty and given some sort of training which they can turn into enterprise.
@Oxfam Lastly info about what GBV is, how to not be an abuser, legal consequences of abuse, how to protect oneself, how to act when you witness it, where to go if you're a victim etc should be introduced in lower school curricular, and its complexities progressively introd to upper ones
@Oxfam Having a children's desk and GBV desk in each police station could be useful in identifying victims as well for purposes of giving them support.
@Oxfam Sometimes economically-challenged victims of GBV choose to remain because if they leave the children will lack resources, I know one such case. Such can be identified & economically empowered.
I feel religious institutions provide that grassroot reach required to single them out
@_kamchacha @Oxfam Likewise, ensuring women understand that none of these things should be acceptable, they're not normal and in the event they experience any of them in their relationships they should walk away, get police help, tell all relatives and basically protect themselves.
@MariamimranM@Oxfam True. Radio programs frequently aired on vernacular stations teaching that abuse isn't love, and how to protect themselves, where to go locally for help be it halfway house centre or police station could be effective.
@Oxfam Churches and religious institutions can be used as centers for therapy and halfway houses.
Governments need a push especially with enforcing laws relating to (gender) violence.
Other actors can do the other initiatives:- education empowerment awareness of how to protect oneself.
@Oxfam Lastly neighbors and bystanders should be informed to report any domestic disturbances. You find those around ignoring a situation until someone dies, or refuse to intervene with a "its none of my business" attitude, some go as far as assume the abused deserve it somehow etc.
@Oxfam Thirdly actors within the criminal justice system should be strengthened since sometimes when the abused report eg at the police they're advised to go back home &just work on their marriages etc.
Police are lax to prosecute, families hesitate from pursuing criminal prosecution.
