As part of the efforts to combat all forms of violence against women and girls, there exist shelter and accommodation facilities for victims in Senegal, such as the National Women's Assistance and Training Centre, which is dedicated to training women and providing them with support in the form of advice or counselling through its branches at the regional level, and the Ginddi counselling and guidance centre for children in difficult situations, which provides psychological and medical assistance to vulnerable women and girls. This Centre has a toll-free number, 116, which is used to report and respond to emergencies. The Centre also offers a holistic package of standard services (basic education, hygiene and health care, meals etc.).

Other facilities that serve as shelters include community justice centres and community educative action services (AEMO).
