Gender-Based Violence and Access to Care
Gender-based violence (GBV) places women and girls at increased risk of unintended pregnancy and other sexual and reproductive health challenges.
Survivors require timely, confidential, survivor-centred care tailored to their individual needs, including access to emergency contraception, abortion-related care, psychosocial support, protection, and other essential SRHR services.

At COHERINET, we work to strengthen access to appropriate care for women and girls experiencing GBV while advocating for laws, policies, and community practices that prevent violence and enable survivors to fully exercise their sexual and reproductive health and rights.

At the centre of this ecosystem is the survivor, whose safety, dignity, rights, and healing remain the priority throughout the referral process and COHERINET is working to ensure that survivors and others facing GBV can access appropriate information, referrals, health services, protection, and legal support through safe, confidential, survivor-centred, and rights-based pathways.
