Combating gender-based violence requires an understanding of its causes and contributing factors, which often also serve as barriers to effective prevention and response. It is crucial to channel focus towards driving awareness and practice of a survivor-centred approach across gender-based violence elimination systems in Nigeria.

 

According to the UN, a survivor centred approach aims to put the rights of each survivor at the forefront of all actions and ensure that each survivor is treated with dignity and respect. By putting the survivor at the center of the process, such an approach promotes their recovery, reduces the risk of further harm and reinforces their agency and self determination.
