Women and Girls, especially from particular groups (with disabilities, rural, sexual and gender minorities) from target countries, who experience violence have access to quality essential services (health, social service, police and justice) to recover from violence

Approximately 3,000 women and girls from Abaiang Island now have access to quality essential services through the expansion of SafeNet and the rollout of the Kiribati Police Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). In June 2022, UN Women, in partnership with the MWYSSA conducted a two-week rollout mission, to standardize and improve response services for women and girls in the outer islands. A three-day training of trainer&rsquo;s workshop was organized that built the capacity of nine facilitators, three of whom are from Abaiang (the Medical Assistance Officer, the Commanding Station Officer and the Assistant Social Welfare officer, the remaining are SafeNet facilitators from South Tarawa, including the SafeNet Coordinator, Senior Assistant Secretary and the Officer in Charge of the Social Welfare Division from MWYYSA , the Healthy Family Clinic Counsellor from the Ministry of Health, Domestic Violence Child Abuse and Sexual Offence Unit (DCSU) Coordinator and the Director of Public Prosecution from Office of the Attorney General. The training was followed by another seven-day training for SafeNet members on the Kiribati Police SOP that built the capacity of 40 participants from the Kiribati Police services, (including village wardens) health workers, village nurses and social welfare officers, ultimately enhancing the quality of essential service provision for women and girls who experience violence.
