AfricaPress-Tanzania:<\/strong> THE government has established an integrated management system for women who have been subjected to gender-based violence (GBV), as part of an initiative to holistically respond to GBV cases.<\/p>\n

Besides women, the system is also expected to respond to cases of violence against children.<\/p>\n

A senior official from the Department of Social Welfare in the Ministry of Health, Community Development, Gender, Elderly and Children, Mr Darius Damas, revealed this during a two-day multi-sector dialogue on ending GBV in the workplace organised by Women in Law and Development in Africa (WiLDAF).<\/p>\n

He was speaking on behalf of the Commissioner of the Social Welfare Department and noted that the government was committed to ensuring GBV survivors\/victims were provided with basic services for their well-being and dignity.<\/p>\n

Mr Damas noted that the country lacked such a crucial system for a long time, but it was now working.<\/p>\n

\u201cGreat strides have been made due to collaboration that involves various stakeholders,\u201d said Mr Damas.<\/p>\n

Besides, the ministry has developed guidelines for the establishment and management of safe homes for victims and survivors of human trafficking and other forms of GBV.<\/p>\n

He pointed out that the move would support the establishment of shelters and safe homes particularly for elders.<\/p>\n

Among the achievements recorded by the government towards ending GBV was the establishment of 420 gender and children desks in 26 regions in the country.<\/p>\n

Likewise, The Tanzania Prisons Service has joined forces by starting up to 161 gender desks at the prisons.<\/p>\n

He added that GBV survivors in health facilities setting one-stop centres had been established for the provision of specialised services to help victims. So far, 14 centres have been started.<\/p>\n

The goal is to provide similar services at regional and district hospitals countrywide.<\/p>\n

He, however, noted that major achievements had been recorded in juvenile cases dealt in line with the law of the child and juvenile court rules to ensure the rights and well-being of children were protected.<\/p>\n

The official added that the move was also meant to ensure children who were diverted from the full justice system were treated in communities and rehabilitation centres.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have developed divergent skills, whereby children who are in conflict with the law are taken to rehabilitation centres,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Other aspects include looking for fit homes, foster families and adopting families to enjoy the care and support regardless of other challenges.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
