Delayed justice and services for victims of abuse was one of the major issues raised by the national consultative dialogue on human trafficking, gender-based violence and drug abuse in Rwanda held on October 10.
A new research report released by the umbrella organisation for women NGOs in Rwanda (“Pro-Femme Twese Hamwe”) said that victims of abuse need to be given better and more timely services at centres handling abuse cases.
