The Rwanda National Police commemorated their ten years of existence and dedicated one week on raising awareness of gender-based violence (GBV). During this week, information was widely disseminated, especially on the role of the police for the protection of GBV survivors in the "one stop" centres, as well as on the various services available at these centres around the country. Messages on prevention of GBV and on response to the needs of GBV survivors were also conveyed. All channels of the public information system were used in order to reach the general public.
